Scale
For the Crust:
- For the protein:
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch cubes)
- For the vegetables:
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes (quartered)
- 1 red bell pepper (diced)
- 1 small red onion (sliced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- For the seasoning:
- 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- For garnish:
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- 1. Preheat grill or oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 2. In a large bowl, combine chicken, potatoes, bell pepper, onion, and garlic.
- 3. Add olive oil, ranch seasoning, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Toss to coat evenly.
- 4. Divide mixture evenly among 4 large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil (about 12×18 inches each).
- 5. Fold foil over ingredients and seal edges tightly to form packets.
- 6. Grill or bake for 25-30 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and potatoes are tender.
- 7. Carefully open packets (steam will escape) and garnish with parsley and cheese if desired.
Notes
• For crispier potatoes, open packets during last 5 minutes of cooking. • Substitute Greek yogurt ranch seasoning for a healthier option. • Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
