Instructions
Creating Hawaiian BBQ Chicken and Pineapple Foil Packets is easy if you follow these steps carefully:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by rinsing and patting dry the chicken breasts. Cut them into bite-sized pieces.
2. Season the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, toss the chicken pieces with salt and black pepper until evenly coated.
3. Add BBQ Sauce: Pour the BBQ sauce over the seasoned chicken. Mix everything until the chicken is fully coated.
4. Prepare the Foil: Cut large pieces of aluminum foil, about 12×18 inches, for each packet. Ensure you have enough to fold over and seal.
5. Assemble the Packets: On each piece of foil, add a portion of the BBQ chicken, diced pineapple, and sliced bell peppers. Make sure to distribute the ingredients evenly.
6. Seal the Packets: Fold the sides of the aluminum foil over the filling and crimp the edges to seal tightly. Place seam side up so they don’t leak.
7. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat.
8. Cook the Packets: Place the foil packets directly on the grill grates. Allow them to cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
9. Check for Doneness: Carefully open a packet to check if the chicken is cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
10. Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the packets from the grill. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
