Instructions
Preheat oven to 375℉ and cut 4 sheets of foil that are ~6”-8” wide — set aside.
Place bacon strips on a foil-lined baking sheet — bake until crispy, then remove from oven.
While the bacon crisps up, prepare the veggies by tossing cauliflower and broccoli in 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper until coated. Place an equal amount of veggies onto each pre-cut foil sheet. Set aside.
Next, toss chicken breast in remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil until coated. Then, add ranch dressing powder mix and toss until chicken is coated. Place an equal amount of chicken on top of the veggies.
Top with cheddar cheese and tear up or cut up bacon strips (roughly one strip per foil packet and sprinkle on top.
Pull up foil edges and pinch/roll together edges to make a seal for the packet. Place sealed foil packets onto a baking sheet, on middle oven rack. Bake for 30—35 minutes, or until chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165℉ and is cooked through. Be careful as you unwrap finished foil packets as there will be lots of steam! **Alternatively: Place foil packets on a grill heated to medium/high and let cook for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken has cooked through (internal temperature 165℉). Again, be careful as you unwrap finished foil packets as there will be lots of steam!
