Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds), diced into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 ½ pound baby red potatoes cut in half
  • 1 ounce ranch seasoning mix (1 packet)
  • 4 Tablespoons butter melted
  • 8 slices bacon cooked and chopped
  • 8 ounces cream cheese diced
  • 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions

  • Preheat the grill over medium high heat about 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a mixing bowl add the diced chicken, potatoes, chopped bacon, and ranch seasoning. Stir until combined. Then stir in the melted butter and mix until combined.
  • Tear off 6 pieces of foil about 14 inches long and lay on a flat surface. Evenly divide the chicken mixture onto the pieces on foil. Top each of the packets with the diced cream cheese.
  • Seal the foil packet tightly and place them on the grill. Cook for 8-10 minutes per side until the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature for 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the potatoes are fork tender.
  • Then carefully open each of the foil packs. Top each pack with the shredded cheddar cheese. Leave the foil pack open and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
  • Remove the foil packs from the grill and serve immediately.

Notes

Allow the chicken to cool completely before storing. Then you can either remove all contents of the foil packets or seal them tightly and place into a plastic bag.
FRIDGE: Store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. If you store the chicken in their foil packets, you can transfer directly to the oven on a baking pan to reheat.
FREEZER: I recommend only freezing for a month or so because cooked potatoes don't freeze and reheat super well. Transfer to an airtight storage container or freezer bag for best results.
