How to Make Bacon Ranch Chicken Foil Packet
- Step 1 – Get 4 pieces of aluminum foil and spray them with non stick cooking spray. Another option is olive oil.
- Step 2 – Place some of the potato slices on the center of each sheet of foil.
- Step 3 – 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.
- Step 4 – 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.
- Step 5 – Fold up the sides of the foil. Then fold up the other sides to make a foil pack.
- Step 6 – Place on the grill over medium high heat or an campfire.
- Step 7 – Open the foil packets carefully and enjoy dinner.
Expert Tips
- Foil – 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.
- Prepare Vegetables – To cut the potatoes in bite sized pieces, we recommend using a mandoline slicer.
How do you Fold a Foil Packet?
Place the sheets of heavy-duty foil on a flat surface. Just fold up each of the sides of foil to seal edges. 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!
Frequently Asked Questions
Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The leftovers will last about 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven or take the chicken and potatoes out of the foil and reheat in the microwave.
Just make each foil pack as normal. However, instead of putting them on the grill, place them on a baking sheet. Then place in the oven and bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees. Carefully open and enjoy! It goes great with grilled corn on the cob.

I would cook it the same amount of time – but flipping regularly.
Med/high… How long on the Blackstone?
Yes.
Yes, this would work great on the blackstone! We love using our blackstone. if you love recipes for your blackstone, check out our other site – https://grillonadime.com/
Could this be made on a blackstone flat top grill?
Yes that is what I mean. You don’t have to, but I like to so it cooks quicker.
Are you cutting chicken breasts in half horizontally? Is that what is meant by filleting them? Thanks! Want to make these tonight. Sound yummy!
Can I sub rice for potatoes
This recipe is delicious and easy to make. The chicken is so juicy and tender. The potatoes and green beans have such a good flavor. I’ve made this recipe several times and each time it comes out the same. Last time I added onion rings. Yum
Thanks for sharing! I have used one of those before too and loved it!
For those who hate the mess of frying bacon. I always cook my bacon on a microwave bacon pan I found in Bed Bath and Beyond, I think. Had it a long time. Just lay the bacon in the pan, lightly cover with several layers of paper towel. Microware for 1 minute at a time until it cooks to your liking. The pan has raised ridges that keeps the bacon from cooking in the grease. When finished it takes a couple of seconds to drain the pan and put it into the dishwasher.
Sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing!
Cooking this for the first time on actual fire coals. Hope it’s as good as in the oven! For you guys asking I cook it in oven at 400 for 40 min. I put the foul packets on a cookie pan. I also use real bacon bits. We had some leftover ham from Christmas. Stick that in too! Yum! And I did dump out the extra liquid I’m love this!
I hope you enjoy it!
I like my bacon crispy so I use cooked bacon. I usually buy the precooked ones that just have to be microwave which causes less of a mess. I hope you enjoy this recipe!
I’m so glad you enjoyed them! Thank you for sharing!
My family went nuts for these! I baked them and they turned out awesome! Matter of fact, I’ll be making these tomorrow! Thank you for a great family meal!
Have the recipe printed and only need to pick up bacon and ranch seasoning – both added to grocery list 😉 I like the comment regarding the uncooked bacon, might try that since it’s so messy cooking bacon. Or maybe try those salad topper bacon pieces? Looks and sounds great, thank you!
