Recipe type: Main
Ingredients
1 c. classic BBQ sauce
¼ c. reduced-sodium soy sauce
¼ c. extra-virgin olive oil
¼ c. chopped cilantro, divided
¼ c. sliced scallions, divided
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. smoked paprika
2 tbsp. grated fresh ginger, from a 1" piece
1 clove garlic, minced
Kosher salt
1 tbsp. freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 red bell pepper, stem and seeds removed, sliced 1" thick
1 red onion, halved and sliced 1" thick
2 c. cubed fresh pineapple
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (2 to 3 pounds total)
Instructions
Heat grill to medium-high for at least 3 minutes. In a small bowl, stir together BBQ sauce, soy sauce, oil, 2 tablespoons each cilantro and scallions, lemon juice, paprika, ginger, garlic, and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
Divide the bell pepper, onion, and pineapple between 4, 16” square sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil. Top each packet with a chicken breast and season with 2 teaspoons each salt and pepper, dividing evenly. Pour the sauce over top, dividing evenly, then tightly fold each piece of foil to make a packet and place on the grill.
Grill, covered and undisturbed, for 20 minutes, then use tongs to carefully open the top of each packet. Grill for another 5 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast reads 165°.
Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Transfer contents of each package to a plate and spoon any remaining sauce over top. Garnish with remaining 2 tablespoons each cilantro and scallion, dividing evenly.
