# Instructions:

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

Cut 4 large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Divide chicken, pineapple, bell peppers, and onions evenly among the sheets.

Drizzle each portion with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and add 2 tablespoons of BBQ sauce to each packet. Gently toss ingredients to ensure even coating.

Fold up each foil packet tightly, ensuring edges are sealed well to contain steam. Grill for 15-18 minutes or bake in the oven for 20-22 minutes, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).

Carefully open packets (beware of hot steam) and garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro. Serve immediately, over rice if desired.
# Notes:

For juicier chicken, marinate in a tablespoon of BBQ sauce for 30 minutes before assembling packets.
02 -
Packets can be assembled up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerated until ready to cook.
