Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup (75 mL) pineapple preserves or marmalade
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) packed brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) soy sauce
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) crushed red pepper
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2-inch (5 cm) cubes (1 lb/500 g)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1 1/2-inch (4 cm) cubes
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, cut into 1 1/2-inch (4 cm) cubes
  • 1 cup (250 mL) pineapple chunks
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt

Steps

  • 1

    Heat gas or charcoal grill. In small bowl, stir together pineapple preserves, brown sugar, soy sauce and crushed red pepper.

  • 2

    Cut 4 (24x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Divide chicken, bell peppers, pineapple chunks and pineapple preserves mixture among foil sheets. Sprinkle with salt. Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.

  • 3

    Place packets on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 6 minutes. Using tongs, carefully turn packets over, taking care not to puncture foil. Cook 10 to 12 minutes longer or until chicken is no longer pink in centre and vegetables are crisp-tender.

Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    How-To:  This new twist takes the work out of kabobs. Instead of skewering the vegetables and meat and brushing with the glaze, they are combined in a simple packet and grilled.
  • Tip 2
    Substitution:  Substitute your favourite preserves for the pineapple variety in this recipe.
