17 Reviews of Island Chicken Packet

Incredibly easy to make and my family loved them! I added a couple of slices of red bell pepper to each packet. Next time I might stir in little bit of cornstarch so sauce thickens as it cooks. This is also a fantastic recipe for camping. The packets can be made in advance and frozen so all you have to do at the campsite is put them on the grill!

    A really good easy dish. I used 4 canned pineapple rings and placed one under and one on top of each chicken breast for baking. Served with snowpeas and rice and I had a quick, tasty and healthy meal.

    The minute I read this recipe I knew that it would be great and we weren't disappointed. So easy to make and so easy to eat too. I didn't have sesame oil so I used sunflower instead. I served it with baked potatoes and a green salad - easy as pie!

    Awesome is the word to describe this! The pineapple adds the right amount of sweetness. I used an 8 oz can of crushed pineapple, drained and marinated it for 1 1/2 hours. I laid it out on the foil, putting onion, pineapple and sauce on each piece of chicken. How easy. I served the extra sauce on the side. We will be having this again. Thanks.

    Didn't have sesame oil...but I do now! Can't wait to try again, even though they were delicious the first time. The pinapple sets this apart from the average chicken dish. Yum!

    These were really good, once I got them cooked. I did exactly what the directions said to do, but when 20 minutes went by, the chicken was not done at all. It took a good 15-20 minutes more for the chicken to cook. I might of done something wrong, since everyone else seems to have had much success, so I'll give it another try and hope that it goes better.

    Nice recipe, though it seems to be lacking something. Next time I will add some bell pepper to the packet. Also the sauce needed to be thicker, and for my taste, needed a bit of soy sauce added.

    Wow, this was sooooo easy to put together (and I LOVE the camping idea!) I used snack pineapple chunks in juice and they were just fine although in syrup might have given the sauce a bit more body. What a lovely dish, thanks so much!

    My kids told me to make this again. It was easy, nutritious and everyone liked it. It would be interesting to thicken up the sauce a little, since we served the rice covered with sauce. I'll definitely keep playing with this one!

    Outstanding chicken! This is so delicious is simple to prepare. I made these exactly as stated and would not change a thing!! I baked the packets in the oven, but next time I will try grilling them over the bbq. I'm getting hungry writing about it! Thanks for sharing such a wonderful recipe.
