Description

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)

  • 2 tbsp chopped green onions (for garnish)

  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (or oven to 400°F / 200°C).

  2. Cut 4 large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Lightly coat each with cooking spray.

  3. Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.

  4. Place one chicken breast in the center of each foil sheet. Top with pineapple chunks, diced bell pepper, and sliced red onion.

  5. Drizzle each with BBQ sauce and a touch of olive oil.

  6. Fold the foil over the ingredients and seal the edges tightly to create a packet.
