Dinner in a Packet

As August is upon us, so draws the near end of Summer. Although if you ask the people around here, summer just showed up.  With days that its perfect weather for grilling. Why not have dinner in packet and be able to enjoy the outdoors while food cooks.

I found a couple recipes that are great for the grill. Most people love Chinese favorite Sweet and Sour Chicken. Now here is a healthy way to cook it and enjoy summer..

4- (6oz) Skinless boneless chicken breasts halves, or cut smaller
2 cups teriyaki marinade, divided
2 cups cubed pineapple
2 cups vertically sliced vidalia or sweet onion
1 1/2 cup yellow or orange bell pepper strips
1 1/2 cup red bell pepper
2 cup cherry tomatoes
 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Place the chicken in a large zip lock bag, add 1 cup marinade. Seal bag and gently toss to coat. Place pineapple, onion, and bell peppers  in another large zip lock bag and add 1 cup marinade, seal and gently toss. Refrigerate  for 2 hours.

Prepare grill

Remove pineapple from bag, discard mixture. Place pineapple mixture and tomatoes in a large foil cooking bag or pouch. Remove chicken from bag, discard marinade. Place chicken on top of pineapple mixture. Seal and cut 6 1/2 in slits  in top of cooking bag. Place bag on grill. Cook for 25 minutes or until chicken is done. Cut bag open and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve.

You can serve with a variety of sides. I would recommend a cold Asian pasta salad.
