I have been loving easy foil packet dinners lately and this simple Foil Packet Bacon Ranch Chicken recipe has become a family favorite. You can toss it on the grill, a campfire, or you can bake it in the oven. Either way, it is packed with flavor. 
Ingredients:
- 2 potatoes
- 2 cups of frozen (or canned) green beans
- 2 chicken breasts (filleted)
- 4 teaspoons of Ranch mix
- 4 tablespoons of butter
- 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 slices of bacon, cooked and chopped
Products you need:
- heavy duty foil
- mandoline slicer for easy slicing of the potatoes
How to make Foil Packet Bacon Ranch Chicken recipe:
- 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 oven.
- Take a 4 slices of foil. Spray with non stick spray.
- Place 1/2 a potato (peeled and sliced) in the middle of each foil. I use a mandoline slicer to quickly slice my potatoes. I love it!
- Top with 1/2 cup of frozen green beans (you can also use canned green beans, drained).
- Place on chicken breast on top and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of Ranch mix and place one tablespoon of butter on top.
- Add 1/4 cup of shredded cheese and the crumbled bacon.
- Fold up the sides of the foil. Then fold up the other sides to make a foil pack.
- Place on the grill or a campfire for 30 minutes.
- Open the foil packets carefully and enjoy dinner!

I know this recipe seems crazy easy but give it a try. The chicken is super juicy and the juices from the chicken flavor the potatoes and green beans perfectly. It is a one stop and mess free dinner that the kids will love getting in the kitchen to make.

How long do you bake in oven and at what temp.?
Carrie says
350 degrees for about 30 minutes. I’ll add it to the post. thanks!
Brittany H. says
My whole family (6 of us total) LOVED this dish! I baked it in the over the way you say to and it came out perfectly! Tonight will be the second time in two weeks I’m preparing it! 😀
Chris says
What could you substitute for the ranch mix?
Sarah Watkins says
Looks so easy and delicious!!!
Carrie says
Chris – I usually make it with the ranch mix as I love the flavor it adds to this recipe. Here is a link to my homemade ranch mix recipe. https://www.eatingonadime.com/homemade-ranch-dressing-mix-recipe/
However, if you don’t prefer this flavor, I think that it would be good with salt, pepper and italian seasoning mix on it as well. Thank you!
Kimberly says
Can I substitute asparagus for the green beens? Or will they over/under cook?
Julie says
Can you do this in the crock pot?
Erin says
Could you use sweet potatoes instead?
Larry says
If you like your bacon softer, could you, theoretically, cook it with the rest of it instead of before?
Carrie says
Erin – Yes, I think sweet potatoes would taste amazing in this!
Carrie says
Kimberly – I think the asparagus might get overcooked with this one as it needs 30 minutes for the chicken to be cooked through.
Carrie says
Julie – Yes, I think you definitely can. I would probably add some chicken broth with the ingredients in the crock pot so it doesn’t dry out. Thank you!
Carrie says
Yes, I think that would be fine!
