Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or prepare a bed of hot coals.
  2. Place the four squares of heavy-duty foil on a clean work surface.
  3. Lightly coat the center of each foil square with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter.
  4. Divide the chopped green pepper, red pepper, and mushrooms evenly among the four foil packets.
  5. Place one large chicken breast on top of the vegetables in each packet.
  6. Drain the pineapple slices and place one slice on top of each chicken breast.
  7. Season the chicken and vegetables generously with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to taste.
  8. Fold the edges of the foil up and over the ingredients, sealing them tightly to create a secure packet that prevents steam from escaping.
  9. Place the sealed packets directly on the grill grates or on the coals.
  10. Grill for 10 to 15 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165ðF.
  11. Carefully open the packets, allowing the steam to escape away from you, and serve immediately.
