Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

   Tear two large pieces of aluminum foil. Lightly brush the center of each with olive oil.

3. Assemble the Packets
   Place a chicken breast in the center of each foil sheet. Season with salt and pepper.

5. Pour the Sauce
   Drizzle the teriyaki sauce evenly over the chicken and vegetables.

6. Seal the Packets
   Fold the foil sides over the ingredients and roll tightly to form a sealed packet.

7. Cook
   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.

8. Garnish and Serve
   Carefully open the packets (beware of hot steam). Sprinkle with green onions and serve warm, with rice or quinoa if desired.
