- 1/4 cups low sodium soy sauce
- 4-5 Tablespoons honey depending on how sweet you like it
- 4 Tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1-1/2 teaspoons sesame oil plus more for drizzling on vegetables
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 3/4 teaspoon grated or ground ginger
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- 3 Tablespoons water
- salt and black pepper to taste
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat or the oven to 425 degrees F.
Cut four 18 x 12-inch squares of foil* and layout on a flat surface.
- If making the Homemade Teriyaki Sauce:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together soy sauce, honey, vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, cornstarch, and water until combined. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens and bubbles. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Place one chicken breast in the middle of each piece of foil and divide the vegetables evenly into each packet, arranging them around the chicken.
- Drizzle the chicken and vegetables with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Brush teriyaki sauce on both sides of the chicken and vegetables - reserving enough for later.
- Fold the foil over the chicken and seal to close off the packets.
- If cooking on the grill
- Place foil packets onto grill and grill for 7-8 minutes, then flip over and grill for an additional 6-8 minutes (depending on the thickness of the chicken) or until chicken is cooked through.
- Remove from the grill and carefully open the foil packets.
- If cooking in the oven Place foil packets on a baking sheet and cook for 25-30 minutes (or until chicken is cooked through, rotating tray once). Time varies depending on the thickness of the chicken. Remove baking sheet from oven.
- Brush chicken with reserved sauce and top with sesame seeds and green onions (if desired) and serve immediately with quinoa, rice or your favorite side.
- For meal prep Divide chicken and vegetables into lunch containers. Add your favorite side.
*if you prefer using parchment paper instead - you can also cut four 18 x 12 inch parchment paper squares and place them on top of the foil and place the salmon and vegetables on the parchment paper. Then double wrap the packets with the foil layer on the outside.

I have some teriyaki chicken breasts I bought from Rastelli online. They come in a pouch and have been allowed to marinate for some time. I think foil packets are the way to go with this chicken. We buy their steaks and they make a wonderful chicken Parmesan for nights I don’t wish to cook too much.

Teriyaki makes savoury dishes so much more flavourful and tastier! Cooked in foil packet helps reserve the moist and flavour…I must give this a try soon. Thanks, Kelly.
