by

For the Packets:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken, cubed
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Optional Garnish:

  • Fresh cilantro or green onions, chopped
  • Sesame seeds, for topping

How to Make It

  1. Marinate Chicken – Whisk together BBQ sauce, soy sauce, honey, olive oil, garlic, and ginger. Coat chicken and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prep Foil Packets – Preheat grill to 375°F or oven to 400°F. Divide marinated chicken, bell peppers, onions, and pineapple into four foil sheets. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Seal & Cook – Fold packets tightly, leaving space for steam. Grill for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway, or bake for 20–25 minutes until chicken is fully cooked.
  4. Serve – Carefully open packets, garnish with cilantro or green onions, and enjoy with steamed rice or crusty bread.

Tips & Variations
