Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the barbecue sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.

  2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, coating evenly. Reserve the remaining marinade for basting.

  3. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, preferably a few hours or overnight.

  4. Preheat grill over medium heat or prepare campfire with grill grate.

  5. Cut four large squares of aluminum foil, enough to wrap each chicken breast individually.

  6. Place a chicken breast in the center of each foil square, top with pineapple chunks.

  7. Spoon a generous amount of reserved marinade over each chicken breast and pineapple.

  8. Fold the foil over the chicken and pineapple, sealing edges tightly to create packets.

  9. Cook packets on grill or campfire for 15-20 minutes, turning once halfway through. Check doneness by cutting into thickest part; juices should run clear.

  10. Carefully open foil packets and check for doneness. Optionally, return packets to grill for a few minutes to caramelize sauce.

  11. Serve hot, optionally with rice or salad.
