What You Will Need
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 the 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
For serving - sliced green onions, soy sauce, sesame seeds, and rice.

❓FAQs
How To Store
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.
How To Reheat
Reheat 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.
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.
