Ingredients For Chicken Teriyaki Foil Packets
Here are the ingredients and tools you will need to make teriyaki chicken foil packets:
- Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts - you could also use chicken thighs, pork, smoked sausage, bratwurst, and even beef if you want.
- Canned Pineapple Slices - you can also use fresh, but canned is most convenient.
- Bell Peppers - any color, I love using a combination of red bell peppers and green or orange for the beautiful color!
- Red Onion - with teriyaki I prefer to use a sweet onion red or white, but in a pinch, any onion will do!
- Broccoli Florets - fresh broccoli works best for this recipe.
- Teriyaki Sauce - you'll need enough to cook with the chicken, and extra for serving.
- Salt and Pepper - to taste

Top Tips
- Make-ahead tip: pre-prep all the ingredients and store the chicken and vegetables in different bags.
- Use pre-cut foil bags for convenience.
- Each method of cooking may result in carrying cooking times. Check the chicken and vegetables periodically and test for doneness.
- If cooking over a campfire or grill, be sure to rotate the packet periodically, and cook over indirect heat (not an open flame)
- Adjust any seasoning.
❓FAQs
If you don't want rice, serve with riced cauliflower, pasta, baked, mashed, or roasted potatoes. Udon, rice, and ramen noodles would also make a great side besides rice.
Reheat leftovers wrapped in foil, over hot coals, in the oven, or on a grill. Or, transfer to a microwave-safe dish then heat in a microwave over low heat.
To store leftovers, let the packets cool, then transfer to an airtight container or re-wrap in the foil and place in a plastic bag. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. See reheating and freezing instructions below.
