Top each chicken breast with pineapple chunks, red bell pepper, carrot slices, and zucchini.
Pour the Sauce
Drizzle the teriyaki sauce evenly over the chicken and vegetables.
Seal the Packets
Fold the foil sides over the ingredients and roll tightly to form a sealed packet.

Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
If using a grill, cook for the same time, flipping once halfway through.
