CHICKEN BREAST:

RED BELL PEPPER:

• The red bell pepper brings the color, crunch, & inherent sweetness that provide the balance to the savory chicken & sauce.

ZUCCHINI:

• The zucchini softens wonderfully inside the foil pack without getting soggy, and it’s light and low in carbohydrates.

OLIVE OIL:

• Olive oil adds a little healthy fat & helps coat the chicken & veggies for uniform cooking.

COCONUT AMINOS:

• Coconut aminos bring umami flavor with no added sugar and reduced salt, making them a keto-friendly alternative to soy sauce.

PINEAPPLE EXTRACT:

• It provides the dish’s distinctive Hawaiian sweetness, which doesn’t raise blood sugar levels.

GARLIC POWDER:

• The mild, flavorful base that garlic powder offers accentuates the natural flavors of the chicken & vegetables.

PAPRIKA:

• Paprika gives the foil packets a mildly smoky flavor while also adding subtle warmth & color.

SALT & PEPPER:

• Seasoning the salt & pepper makes it simple, which balances the savory & sweet flavors.

MOZZARELLA CHEESE:

• Mozzarella cheese melts easily, adding creaminess and a cozy touch to the completed dish.

FRESH PARSLEY:
