Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the grill over medium high heat (approximately 400 degrees F).
  • Mix the ranch seasoning mixture and melted butter together in a large bowl.  Then stir in the diced chicken, potatoes and half of the bacon slices.
  • Place the ingredients in the center of 4 different pieces of foil that are at least 12X12 inches.  Top each of the packets with the diced cream cheese.
  • Seal the foil packet and place them on the grill.  Cook for 5-6 minutes per side until the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature for 165 degrees F and the potatoes are fork tender.
  • Then carefully open each of the foil packs.  Top each pack with approximately ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese and the remaining bacon.  Seal the foil back up and allow the heat from the meal to melt the cheese (5-10 minutes).
  • Then the foil packets are ready to open, serve and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure to use heavy duty foil so that it doesn’t break when making this recipe. 
You can also use fingerling potatoes or yukon gold potatoes as well.  Just make sure to dice them into smaller pieces so that the potatoes are done at the same time as the chicken. 
You can use your favorite types of bacon in this recipe.  Make sure that it’s cooked and crispy before using in this recipe. 
Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
