Cheesy Ranch Chicken Foil Packets
Description
This recipe uses individual foil packets to cook boneless skinless chicken breasts alongside sliced red potatoes, diced red bell pepper, onion, and broccoli florets. The vegetables and chicken are coated with a dressing made from ranch dressing, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and sugar, providing a balanced mix of creamy, tangy, and savory tastes.
The foil packets allow the ingredients to steam and bake together, intensifying flavors and keeping the chicken moist. Sprinkled Parmesan cheese adds a savory, cheesy layer that melts over the contents. The recipe offers two cooking methods: baking at 375°F for about 35 to 40 minutes or grilling foil packets at 400°F for 20 to 25 minutes.
These packets offer a straightforward dinner option with minimal cleanup and a mix of protein and vegetables. The portioned packets can be served directly on foil and work well for both oven and grill cooking.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast boneless skinless
- 3/4 pound potato sliced, red
- 1 medium red bell pepper diced
- 1/2 medium red onion diced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
Instructions
- Lay out 4 pieces of aluminum foil, approximately 14x18-inches each. Lay 1 piece of chicken onto each piece of foil. Divide potatoes, bell pepper, onion, and broccoli amongst the foil packets placing the vegetables next to the chicken.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup ranch dressing, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar. Drizzle mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables in each of the foil packets.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese over chicken and veggies. Fold the foil over the dinner and wrap it up tightly to close, sealing the edges so nothing leaks out.
- Oven: 375 degrees, 35-40 minutes; Grill: 400 degrees, 20-25 minutes.
- Bake in a 375-degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. For a grill, place directly on the rack of a grill heated to approximately 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes with the lid closed until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
