Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons

1 red bell pepper, chopped into bite-sized pieces

1 cup sweet corn (frozen or fresh)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix (store-bought or homemade)

3 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley or chives, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Aluminum foil for wrapping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Foil: Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut four large sheets of aluminum foil, each about 12 inches long, and lay them flat on a clean work surface.

    Mix the Chicken and Vegetables: In a sizeable mixing bowl, combine the bite-sized chicken pieces, sliced zucchini, chopped bell pepper, sweet corn, and halved cherry tomatoes. Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture and then sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix on top. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preference. Using a spatula or your hands, gently toss everything together until all ingredients are evenly coated.

      Assemble the Foil Packs: Evenly distribute the seasoned chicken and vegetable mixture among the four foil sheets. Be sure to leave about an inch of space around the edges to allow for proper sealing.

        Seal the Packs: Carefully fold up the longer sides of the aluminum foil and then fold the top and bottom edges down to create a securely sealed packet. Ensure there are no openings for juices to leak out.

          Cook the Packs: Place the sealed foil packs on the grill or in the oven. Cook for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). For grilling, avoid direct flame contact to ensure even cooking.

            Serve: Once cooked, carefully open the foil packs (be cautious of escaping steam!) and serve the delicious ranch chicken and veggies either directly in the foil for a rustic presentation or transfer to plates. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley or chives for an added touch of flavor and color. Enjoy your quick and flavorful ranch chicken meal!
