Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (or canned, drained)

1 bell pepper, sliced (red or yellow)

1 cup snap peas or green beans

1/4 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (or 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Cooked rice, for serving (optional)

Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven or Grill: If using an oven, preheat it to 400°F (200°C). If using a grill, prepare it for medium heat.

    Prepare the Foil Packets: Cut large sheets of aluminum foil (about 12x12 inches) for each portion. You will need enough to create pockets for each serving.

      Mix the Marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and ginger. Mix well.

        Assemble the Packets: Place equal portions of chicken pieces, pineapple chunks, bell pepper slices, and snap peas/green beans in the center of each foil sheet. Drizzle the marinade over each pile and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

          Seal the Packets: Fold the sides of the foil over the chicken and vegetables, creating a tightly sealed packet. Make sure to leave some space for steam to circulate inside.

            Cook: Place the foil packets on a baking sheet if baking or directly on the grill. Bake for 20-25 minutes in the oven or grill for about 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and veggies are tender.

              Carefully Open: Once cooked, carefully open the foil packets to avoid steam burns.

                Serve: If desired, serve over cooked rice and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Enjoy your flavorful and healthy meal!
