Ingredients

  • 1 package of Caramelized onion chicken meatballs store-bought or homemade
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper chopped
  • 1 yellow onion diced Sweet peppers
  • 1/2 can pineapple chunks drained
  • Japanese BBQ sauce to taste about 2 tbsp per foil packet plus more for serving
  • Basmati rice for serving

Instructions

  • Prep the Ingredients: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F . While it’s heating up, chop your sweet peppers and onion into bite-sized pieces. Drain the pineapple chunks if you’re using canned.
  • Assemble the Packets: Lay out your foil sheets and start layering. Place a few chicken meatballs in the center of each sheet, followed by the peppers, onions, and pineapple chunks. Drizzle generously with Japanese BBQ sauce.
  • Seal and Bake: Fold the foil over the ingredients, crimping the edges to seal the packets tightly. Pop them in the oven for about 25 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through and the veggies are tender.
  • Serve: Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for steam!) I like to broil for an additional minute on high to further caramelize the meatballs, but this optional! Serve over a bed of fluffy basmati rice. You can drizzle a bit more BBQ sauce on top if you’re feeling extra saucy.
