Instructions
Prepare the Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until well combined.
Season the Chicken
Place the chicken cubes in a large bowl. Add olive oil, garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.

Lay out 4 large sheets of heavy-duty foil. Divide the chicken, pineapple chunks, bell peppers, onion, and broccoli evenly among the packets.
Drizzle the teriyaki sauce mixture over each packet.
Seal the Packets
Fold the foil over the ingredients and seal the edges tightly so steam stays inside while cooking.
Cook
Grill Method
Place packets on a preheated grill over medium-high heat. Cook for 20–25 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
Oven Method
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 25–30 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and vegetables are tender.
Garnish and Serve
Carefully open the packets hot steam will escape. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve over warm rice if desired.
Tips for the Best Foil Packets

Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat.
Double-wrap packets if cooking directly on campfire coals.
