01 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, approximately 6 oz each
02 - 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice, rinsed
→ Fruits & Vegetables
03 - 1.5 cups fresh pineapple chunks or canned pineapple, drained
04 - 1 red bell pepper, diced
05 - 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
06 - 1 cup sugar snap peas, trimmed

→ Sauce & Seasonings
08 - 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free
09 - 1/4 cup pineapple juice
10 - 2 tablespoons honey
11 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
12 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
13 - 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
14 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
15 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
16 - Nonstick cooking spray or olive oil for foil
# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F.
02 - In a small mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, pineapple juice, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
03 - Lay out 4 large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, approximately 12 by 16 inches each. Lightly coat the center of each sheet with nonstick cooking spray or olive oil.
04 - Evenly divide the uncooked rice among the foil sheets, spreading it in the center of each.
05 - Place one chicken breast on top of the rice on each packet.
06 - Distribute pineapple chunks, diced bell pepper, red onion slices, and sugar snap peas around and over the chicken.
07 - Drizzle each packet with an equal amount of the prepared marinade.
08 - Fold the foil over the ingredients, creating a tight seal on each packet to prevent leaks.
09 - Place foil packets on the grill with seam side up. Grill for 25 to 30 minutes, turning once halfway through, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and rice is tender.
10 - Carefully open the packets, watching for escaping steam. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately while hot.
