Pineapple-Chicken Packets
1/3 c pineapple preserves
2 T packed brown sugar
1 T soy sauce
¼ t crushed red pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 2” cubes (1 pound)
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1 1/2” cubes
1 medium green bell pepper, cut into 1 ½” cubes
1 c pineapple chunks
¼ t salt
Heat gas or charcoal grill. In small bowl, stir together pineapple preserves, brown sugar, soy sauce and crushed red pepper.
Cut 4 (24 X 12”) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Divide chicken bell peppers, pineapple chunks, and pineapple preserves mixture among foil sheets. Sprinkle with salt. Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2” fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
Place packets on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 6 minutes. Using tongs, carefully turn packets over, taking care not to puncture foil. Cook 10-12 minutes longer until chicken is no longer pink in center and vegetables are crisp tender.
