Ingredients

2: boneless skinless chicken breasts (5 oz each)

1/4: cup sweet-and-sour sauce

1: can (8 ounces) pineapple chunks, drained

1/2: medium bell pepper, cut into strips

1/4: small onion, cut into small wedges

1/4: cup chow mein noodles, if desired

Directions

1 Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut two 18x12-inch pieces of heavy-duty foil. Spray with cooking spray. Place 1 chicken breast on one side of each foil piece. Top each with 1 tablespoon sweet-and-sour sauce and half of the pineapple, bell pepper and onion. Top with remaining sauce.
2 Fold foil over chicken and vegetables so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again. Allow space on sides for circulation and expansion.
3 Cover and grill packets over medium heat 12 to 18 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (170°F). Place packets on plates. Cut large X across top of each packet; fold back foil. Top with noodles.

This is such a simple dish to prepare, but it is quite tasty! Serving it over brown rice makes the meal complete.

I loved the chicken recipe but I dont like chow mein noodles so I use whole grain rotini instead.
