Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup BBQ sauce
1 (15 ounce) can pineapple slices (with juice)
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic
1 red bell pepper (cut into cubes)
2 medium zucchinis (sliced)
Green onions (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat your grill to medium heat and cut four sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
Place each chicken breast at the center of the foil sheets. Top with cubed bell pepper and sliced zucchini, then add 2-3 pineapple slices on top.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together BBQ sauce, pineapple juice, soy sauce, and garlic. Pour about 2 tablespoons over each chicken breast, reserving some sauce for later.
Seal the foil packets tightly and place on the grill. Cook for 13-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Carefully open the packets to avoid steam. Baste with reserved sauce before serving and garnish with chopped green onions.
