  • 1 red bell pepper (diced)
  • 1 small red onion (sliced)

  2. 2. In a large bowl, combine chicken, potatoes, bell pepper, and onion.
  3. 3. Whisk together olive oil, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper in a small bowl.
  4. 4. Pour seasoning mixture over chicken and vegetables, tossing to coat evenly.
  5. 5. Divide mixture evenly among 4 large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil (about 12×18 inches each).
  6. 6. Fold foil over mixture and crimp edges tightly to form sealed packets.
  7. 7. Grill for 25-30 minutes or bake for 30-35 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F and potatoes are tender.

Notes

• For crispier potatoes, open packets during last 5 minutes of cooking. • Substitute sweet potatoes for a healthier twist. • Store leftovers in sealed packets for up to 3 days in refrigerator.
