Grilled Hawaiian Barbecue Chicken in Foil Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by Golfwidow7

Number Of Ingredients 8

44 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1cup1 cup bbq sauce (I like Sweet Baby Ray's)
115-ounce can1 15-ounce can pineapple slices (including juice)
2teaspoons2 teaspoons soy sauce
1teaspoon1 teaspoon garlic
11 red bell pepper, cut into cubes
2medium2 medium zucchini, sliced
green onions, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat grill to medium heat. Cut 4 sheets, enough to wrap the chicken and veggies, of heavy duty foil. Place chicken on center of aluminum foil and divide the veggies and add 2-3 pineapple slices into each packet. In a bowl, whisk together bbq sauce, juice from the can of pineapple slices, soy sauce, and garlic. Spread about 2 Tablespoons of the sauce on the chicken and make sure to reserve about ¼ cup. Place chicken packets onto grill and grill for 13-15 minutes flipping at about 7 minutes.To serve carefully open packets, baste with reserve sauce and garnish with green onions.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use a whole chicken or chicken breasts for this recipe. Bone-in chicken will have more flavor, but boneless, skinless chicken breasts are easier to work with.
  • Make a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what will give your chicken its flavor, so don't skimp on the ingredients. Use a combination of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices.
  • Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes: The longer you marinate the chicken, the more flavor it will absorb. If you can, marinate the chicken overnight.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat: This will help to sear the chicken and prevent it from sticking to the grill.
  • Place the chicken in a foil packet: This will help to keep the chicken moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Cook the chicken for 30-40 minutes: The cooking time will vary depending on the size of your chicken. Check the chicken by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before serving: This will help the chicken to retain its juices.

Conclusion:
