- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- 1 carrot, thinly sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut two large pieces of aluminum foil and lay them flat on your countertop.

- Top each chicken breast with pineapple chunks, bell pepper slices, carrot slices, and zucchini slices.
- Pour the teriyaki sauce evenly over the chicken and veggies.
- Fold the sides of the foil over the chicken and vegetables to create a sealed packet.
