Grilled Pineapple Chicken Foil Packets
Description
Grilled Pineapple Chicken Foil Packets feature boneless, skinless chicken breast pieces paired with chopped red and green bell peppers, onion, and pineapple chunks. The chicken and vegetables are coated in a mixture of teriyaki sauce and Asian toasted sesame dressing. The ingredients are sealed in foil packets that are grilled for about 10-15 minutes, cooking the chicken through while locking in the sauce and juices. The result is tender chicken with a balanced savory-sweet taste from the pineapple and sauce combination.
The grilling method helps meld the flavors while keeping the chicken moist. The peppers and onions provide texture and a fresh contrast to the sweet pineapple chunks. This dish can be served directly from the foil packets, garnished with cilantro and sesame seeds as desired.
This recipe is helpful for easy grilling, minimizing cleanup, and providing a fully flavored complete dish in one foil packet. It's suited for summer meals or backyard barbecues where convenient neat packages simplify the cooking process.
The recipe recommends mixing Kikkoman teriyaki sauce with Kraft Toasted Asian Sesame Dressing for the sauce, which brings distinct savory and nutty flavors. Be careful when handling the hot foil packets when checking doneness.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast cut into 1 ½ inch pieces, boneless skinless
- 1 red bell pepper chopped

- 1 cup Sesame Dressing see note, Asian toasted
Instructions
- Preheat the grill. Lay out 4 large (about 24 inches long) pieces of foi. In a bowl whisk together teriyaki sauce and sesame dressing.
- Distribute chicken, peppers, onions, pineapple chunks, and sauce between the sheets of foil. Fold the the sides of the foil over the fillings and seal shut.
- Grill packets for about 10-15 minutes, turning over once half way through. Carefully unfold foil packets and check chicken to make sure it is cooked through. Garnish with cilantro and sesame seeds if desired, serve immediately.
Notes
