Ingredients
  

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup BBQ sauce (choose your favorite brand)

1 packet ranch seasoning mix

1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 cup bell peppers, sliced (combined colors of red, yellow, and green)

1 cup red onions, sliced

2 cups baby spinach or mixed greens

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large pieces of aluminum foil (approximately 12x18 inches each)

Optional: shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella) for topping

Instructions
 

Preheat the Grill: Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat, aiming for a temperature of about 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your chicken cooks evenly and gets that delicious grilled flavor.

    Prepare the Chicken: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the boneless chicken breasts with the BBQ sauce and ranch seasoning mix. Use a spoon or spatula to mix until the chicken is evenly coated. For optimal flavor absorption, let the chicken marinate for a minimum of 15 minutes.

      Prep the Veggies: In a separate bowl, gently toss together the corn kernels, sliced bell peppers, and red onions. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring every piece is coated for maximum flavor.

        Assemble the Foil Packs: Take the four pieces of aluminum foil and lay them flat. In the center of each piece, place an equal portion of the marinated chicken. Top each chicken portion with a generous scoop of the veggie mixture, followed by a handful of baby spinach for a refreshing touch.

          Seal the Packs: Carefully fold the sides of the aluminum foil over the chicken and vegetables, then roll the top edges to create a secure, sealed packet. It's important to keep the foil tightly closed while leaving a little space inside for steam to circulate during cooking.

            Grill It Up: Place the foil packs directly on the grill grates. Allow them to cook for about 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through. The chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

              Cheesy Finish (Optional): If you’d like to add some cheesy goodness, about 5 minutes before the packets are done, carefully unseal them to sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Reseal the foil packs and allow the cheese to melt beautifully.

                Serve: Using caution, remove the foil packs from the grill. Open them carefully, as hot steam will escape. You can serve the BBQ Ranch Chicken Foil Packs directly on plates or keep them in the foil for a charming, rustic presentation that enhances the outdoor vibe.
