Easy Teriyaki Chicken in foil is a sweet and savory blend of tender meat and flavor packed veggies. This foil packet dinner is perfect for busy weeknights.
Preheat a grill over medium high heat (approximately 400 degrees F) and set aside 4 12X12 inch squares of foil.
In a large mixing bowl, add in all the sauce ingredients except for the cornstarch. Whisk to thoroughly combine all the ingredients and then transfer half of the sauce to a small saucepan and leave the rest in the mixing bowl.
Add in the chicken and vegetables to the large mixing bowl. Stir to coat it all with the sauce.
Then distribute the mixture evenly between the pieces of foil and fold up the ends to create a foil pack.
Place the foil packets on the grill. Cook for 5-6 minutes. Then flip the packets and cook for 5-6 more minutes until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165 degrees F).
While the foil packets are cooking, heat the remaining sauce in the saucepan over medium heat. Whisk the cornstarch with a small amount of water in a small bowl until the cornstarch is dissolved and whisk this mixture into the saucepan.
Brush the extract sauce on the chicken and veggies when serving and top them with the sesame seeds and diced green onions.
Notes
Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. We use an instant-read meat thermometer to make sure that the chicken is cooked to a safe temperature. You can also cook these foil packs in the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the foil packs on a baking sheet and cook for 25-28 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
