One of our favorite things to do in the spring is to plan all of our summer trips and that often includes adding these teriyaki chicken foil packets to our menu planning.

Of course, foil pack meals are great any time of year, but they are especially awesome for grilling season and make the perfect easy campfire dinner.

In our opinion, foil pack meals are the simplest way to make an all-in-one complete meal after a long day of exploring or lounging by the water. We especially love them because these easy recipes can be customized to the likes and dislikes of each individual.

Not to mention, when cooking in the great outdoors, any meal with quick cleanup is always a win.

Teriyaki Chicken Foil Packs

These easy teriyaki chicken foil packs are quick to prep and just as quick to cleanup. Simply wrap chicken, veggies, and sauce in foil, then cook to perfection!

The secret to this recipe is really the savory teriyaki sauce — all it takes is a bit of soy sauce, brown sugar, and seasonings. We highly recommend you add it to your camping menu this season!

How to Fold a Foil Packet

• For best results, start by pulling the sides of the foil up to meet in the center.
• Fold the two edges together tightly along the entire length. A 2-inch fold is ideal.
• Finally, seal edges by rolling up the ends of each piece of tin foil to create a packet.

Ingredients

• Boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips – Lean, tender chicken strips cook evenly and soak up all that teriyaki goodness.
• Broccoli florets – Fresh, crisp broccoli adds color, crunch, and a veggie parents can feel good about serving.
• Bell peppers – Sweet, colorful peppers bring a pop of flavor and crunch.
• White onion, diced – It softens as it cooks, adding savory depth and irresistible aroma.
• Teriyaki sauce – Whether store-bought or homemade, it delivering sweet, salty, sticky flavor.
• Green onions, diced (optional) – A fresh, mild garnish that adds a little crunch.
• Sesame seeds (optional) – Tiny but mighty, these add a nutty finish.

Instructions

1. Preheat the BBQ grill to 400 degrees F.

2. Cut up the vegetables and slice the chicken.

Tip: At this point you can add everything to a large bowl and coat with 1 cup teriyaki sauce, but we often skip this step and just assemble.

3. Divide the ingredients equally onto four sheets of foil (about 12” long).

4. Top with half of the teriyaki sauce.

5. Fold each sheet of foil into a packet.

6. Place the foil packets directly onto the grill grate.

7. Cook for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is completely cooked.

8. Top with remaining cup of teriyaki sauce.

9. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Substitutions and Add-ins

• Instead of using boneless skinless chicken breasts, try other cuts of chicken.
• Add whatever fresh vegetables you have on hand.
• Pineapple chunks
• Sweet potatoes
• Green beans
• Red onion
• Sugar snap peas
• Soy sauce may be used in addition to teriyaki sauce, but we wouldn’t recommend replacing it entirely. Soy sauce doesn’t thicken and coat the ingredients in the same way.
• Include more seasonings, like garlic powder, onion powder, or black pepper.

Tips and Tricks

• When planning for camping, we like to do as much prep as possible at home, while we have access to hot running water. It makes cleanup so much easier.
• Place foil packs on a baking sheet if you are worried about the packet leaking on the grill.
• Use sheets of heavy-duty foil or double wrap your packet if you are worried out breakage.
• Open packets carefully. They release quite a bit of hot steam.
• Give each square of foil a light coating of non-stick cooking spray to help prevent your ingredients from sticking.
• Be sure to cut your chicken breasts into evenly sized pieces for even cooking.
• Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge or cooler.
