Bacon ranch chicken foil packet
I have been loving easy foil packet dinners lately and this simple Foil Packet Bacon Ranch Chicken recipe has become a family favorite. I know this recipe seems crazy easy but give it a try.
The chicken is super juicy and the juices from the chicken flavor the potatoes and green beans perfectly. It is a one stop and mess free dinner that the kids will love getting in the kitchen to make.
You can toss it on the grill, a campfire, or you can bake it in the oven. Either way, it is packed with flavor.
This recipe allows you to spend more time with your family and less time cleaning up. Since everything is wrapped in the foil, cleanup is easy.
Just toss the foil and go! No pots and pans to wash!
Sounds like my kind of dinner! It is perfect for crazy busy weeknights when you are running from place to place.
We have an amazing ranch mix that we love. It is super easy and so delicious with this recipe.

- Ranch mix

How to make bacon ranch chicken foil packet:
Just a tip- You will want to use heavy duty foil for a foil pack so it won’t break when you are grilling. You can use regular foil but I recommend you double wrap it to avoid it breaking in the oven.
First, get 4 pieces of aluminum foil and spray them with non stick cooking spray. Another option is olive oil.
Second, place some of the potato slices on each piece of foil. I like to use a mandoline slicer to quickly slice my potatoes. I love it and it saves a ton of time.
Next, add the green beans on top of the potatoes and then the chicken breasts. Season with salt and pepper. Add the ranch mix and butter on top. Yum!
Top with shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled cooked bacon. This is going to taste amazing with the ranch dressing and it’s so quick and easy.
How do you fold a foil packet?
It is so easy! Just fold up each of the sides of the foil until everything is sealed. You now have a foil pack ready to go!
Finally, put the foil pack on the grill or a campfire. Just be careful when you open the packets.
Serve and enjoy!

How to bake in the oven:
Just make each foil pack as normal. However, instead of putting them on the grill, place them on a baking sheet.
Put in the oven and bake! The baking sheet will make it much easier to remove from the oven.
Carefully open and enjoy!
I love that you can cook this on the grill or the oven. It makes it super easy to enjoy this year round regardless of the weather.
It is such a delicious meal and sure to be a hit with the entire family.
