These Teriyaki Pineapple Foil Packets are a quick, flavor-packed dinner perfect for the oven or grill. Juicy chicken or tofu, sweet pineapple, and crisp veggies are coated in savory teriyaki sauce and steamed in foil for a healthy, tropical-inspired meal with no cleanup. Great for meal prep, camping, or weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast or firm tofu, cubed
  • 1½ cups fresh pineapple chunks (or well-drained canned)
  • 2 bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned
  • ½ cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Optional: cashews or peanuts, red pepper flakes for spice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F or preheat grill to medium-high.
  2. Tear 4 large sheets of heavy-duty foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
  3. In the center of each foil sheet, layer chicken or tofu, pineapple, and vegetables.
  4. Drizzle with teriyaki sauce and fold foil into tightly sealed packets with space for steam.
  5. Bake or grill for 20–25 minutes until chicken is cooked through or tofu is heated and veggies are tender.
  6. Carefully open packets (watch for steam), garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
  7. Serve in foil or plate with rice or quinoa.

Notes

  • Great with shrimp, salmon, or tempeh as protein alternatives.
  • Use fresh seasonal vegetables like zucchini or snap peas.
  • Add nuts or chili flakes for crunch and spice.
  • Heavy-duty foil is best to prevent tearing or leaks.
