• 1 large Yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 medium Red onion, sliced
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce

• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
• 4 pieces Lime wedges (optional)
• 4 pieces Foil sheets

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Cut 4 large sheets of foil, each about 12x16 inches, and set them aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together coconut milk, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 4

Lay each chicken breast onto the center of a foil sheet, then drizzle 2 tablespoons of the marinade over each piece of chicken.

Step 5

Divide the diced pineapple, sliced bell peppers, and red onion evenly among the foil sheets, arranging them on top of each chicken breast.

Step 6

Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over the vegetables in each packet.

Step 7

Fold the sides of each foil sheet up and over the chicken and vegetables, sealing the edges tightly to create a packet.

Step 8

Place the foil packets on the grill and cook for 25–30 minutes, or in the oven for 30–35 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Carefully remove the packets from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes before opening.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges if desired. Enjoy your Island Chicken Packet!
