Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups Fresh pineapple chunks (or canned in juice, drained)
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, diced
- 1 small Red onion, sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 sheets Aluminum foil
Instructions
Lay out 4 large sheets of aluminum foil (about 12x18 inches each).
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Place one chicken breast in the center of each foil sheet.
Divide the pineapple chunks, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion evenly among the foil packets, scattering them around the chicken.
Drizzle each packet with an equal portion of the soy sauce mixture.
Fold the sides of the foil over the chicken and vegetables, sealing tightly to create a packet, but leave some space inside for steam to circulate.
Refrigerate the packets for up to 24 hours if prepping them ahead for camping.
When ready to cook, place the packets over medium heat on a campfire, grill, or portable camping stove.
Cook for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Carefully open the packets (watch out for steam), and serve hot.
