Ingredients

1 large chicken thigh — chicken breast may be substituted
¼ to ½ cup chopped yellow or red onion
¼ cup sweet or hot peppers sliced or chopped, optional
1 ear sweet corn on the cob cut in half, or mini corn on the cob
7 baby potatoes halved if needed and cut into bite-size pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 packet Ranch Seasoning Mix or use our Ranch Seasoning Dressing Mix
Vegetables of your choice such as zucchini, asparagus, or cherry tomatoes, cut into bite-size pieces
Your favorite spice mixture to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven or grill to 375°F.
Prepare one 12×12-inch piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil for each serving.
Place the chicken, potatoes, corn, onion, peppers, and other desired vegetables in the center of the foil.
Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Ranch Seasoning Mix and any additional spices you prefer. Add 2–3 pats of butter.
Bring two opposite edges of the foil together over the food and fold them down several times to create a tight seal. Fold the remaining two edges tightly toward the center to completely seal the packet. Make sure there are no openings where steam can escape.
Place the foil packet directly on the oven rack or grill grates. Cook for about 40 minutes in the oven or 20 minutes on the grill, or until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
Carefully remove the packet using oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves.
Let the packet cool for a few minutes before carefully opening it. Be especially careful of the hot steam when opening the packet.

Notes

We do this with family and friends as a social time. So we prepare ahead , a quantity of each ingredient in containers, so each person prepares their own. While they cook , provides time for conversation.
