Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 packet ranch seasoning mix

2 cups baby potatoes, halved

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup sliced bell peppers (any color)

4 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven or Grill: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). If you prefer grilling, get your grill ready at medium-high heat.

    Prepare the Foil Packs: Tear off four large sheets of aluminum foil, each measuring approximately 12x18 inches. This size allows you to easily fold and seal your packs without spilling.

      Season the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, add the chicken breasts along with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the ranch seasoning mix. Use your hands or a spatula to thoroughly coat each piece of chicken, ensuring all sides are evenly flavored.

        Prepare the Vegetables: In a separate mixing bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes, cherry tomatoes, broccoli florets, and sliced bell peppers. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the veggies and season them with salt and pepper. Toss them gently to ensure they're evenly coated with oil and seasoning.

          Assemble Your Foil Packs: Place one chicken breast at the center of each piece of foil. Surround the chicken with an even portion of the seasoned vegetable mixture, distributing them as evenly as possible.

            Seal the Foil Packs: Fold the sides of each foil sheet over the chicken and vegetables, then roll the top edge down securely to create a tight seal. Make sure to leave some space inside the packet for steam to build up during cooking.

              Cook the Foil Packs:

                - Oven Method: Arrange the foil packs on a baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

                  - Grill Method: Carefully place the foil packs directly onto the grill grates. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, turning them occasionally for even cooking.

                    Serve and Enjoy: When the cooking time is up, use caution as you open the foil packs (the steam can be hot!). Garnish each pack with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an added burst of flavor. Relish your delicious Ranch Chicken and Veggie Foil Packs!
