Ingredients
  

Main ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce Choose your favorite flavor.
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks Can use fresh or canned.
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Aluminum foil For wrapping the packets.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Cut four large pieces of aluminum foil.
  • In the center of each piece, place a chicken breast and season with salt and pepper.
  • Top each chicken breast with BBQ sauce, pineapple chunks, and sliced bell peppers and onion.
  • Fold the foil over the chicken to create a sealed packet.
  • Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Carefully open the packets, and serve warm.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in BBQ sauce for a few hours. You can also grill the packets on medium heat for 15-20 minutes instead of baking. Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or corn. For variations, add jalapeños for spice, substitute chicken with shrimp or pork, or swap pineapple with another fruit.
