TROPICAL CHICKEN PACKETS

Categories     Chicken

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 12" x 8" sheets of non-stick aluminum foil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (1 - 1 1/4 lb)
4 green onions, cut into 1" pieces
1 can (20 oz) pineapple chunks, drained
1 medium red bell pepper, cut in strips
1/2 cup Teriyaki sauce
2 Tbsp packed brown sugar
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
Hot cooked rice

Steps:

  • Place one chicken breast on the center of each piece of foil. Top with green onions, pineapple and green pepper. Combine Teriyaki sauce, brown sugar and ginger; spoon over chicken and vegetables. Fold foil to seal packets but leave room for heat inside to circulate. Bake in 450 degree oven on a cookie sheet for 18 to 22 minutes, or 14 to 16 in a medium-high covered grill. Serve over rice with additional teriyaki sauce, if desired.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and tools you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your dish the best flavor. If possible, try to use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When cooking the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the Chicken Rest: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Tropical chicken packets are a delicious and easy way to enjoy a healthy meal. They are perfect for busy weeknights or for when you're entertaining guests. With a variety of flavors to choose from, there's sure to be a tropical chicken packet recipe that everyone will enjoy.
