Weight Watchers Grilled Chicken Foil Packets

 

Ingredients:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 4 oz each)
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned in juice, drained)
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 zucchini, sliced
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium teriyaki sauce
  • 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prep the Chicken: Place each chicken breast on a large piece of aluminum foil (about 12×12 inches).
  2. Mix the Veggies: In a bowl, combine the pineapple chunks, bell pepper, zucchini, and green onions.
  3. Assemble the Packets: Divide the veggie and pineapple mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
  4. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  5. Add the Sauce: Drizzle half of the sauce over each chicken and veggie packet.
  6. Seal the Packets: Fold the foil over the chicken and vegetables, sealing the edges tightly to create a closed packet.
  7. Cook:
    • Grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Cook the foil packets for 20–25 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.
    • Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes.
  8. Rest: Let the packets sit for a few minutes before opening (watch out for steam!).
  9. Serve: Open the foil and enjoy your flavorful, healthy meal!
