Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (or prepare your grill).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with the teriyaki sauce, tossing them to coat evenly.
Assembly
  1. Cut two large pieces of aluminum foil, about 18 inches long.
  2. Place an equal portion of teriyaki chicken in the center of each foil piece.
  3. Top with pineapple chunks, bell pepper slices, and onion slices.
  4. Fold the sides of the foil over the filling creating a sealed packet.
  5. Make sure it's tightly closed to trap steam.
Cooking
  1. Place the foil packets on a baking sheet or directly on the grill.
  2. Cook for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Serving
  1. Carefully open the packets, being cautious of the hot steam.
  2. Serve over cooked rice or noodles and garnish with sliced green onions if desired.
