Directions
- Step 1Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Cut 4 sheets of aluminum foil, (approx. 18-inch squares).
- Step 2In a large bowl, toss potatoes and onion with oil and garlic powder. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon pepper. Divide potato mixture among pieces of aluminum foil.
- Step 3Add a piece of chicken to each foil packet and season chicken with 1 teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Fold up edges of package to create a boat. Pour 1 tablespoon white wine over potato mixture in each packet.
- Step 4Fold foil around chicken and potato mixture to seal tightly.
- Step 5Arrange foil packets, chicken side down, in a single layer on the grill. Grill packets 10 minutes, then flip. Grill until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender, about 5 minutes more.
- Step 6Carefully, remove foil packets to a work surface and open them, there will be hot steam, so be careful! Sprinkle each with broccoli and cheese. Then reseal foil.
- Step 7Return packets to grill until cheese is melty and broccoli is warm, 2 minutes.
- Step 8Meanwhile, arrange bacon in a medium nonstick skillet and place over medium heat. Cook, turning halfway through, until golden on both sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper-towel lined plate and let cool. Crumble bacon into bite-sized pieces.
- Step 9Carefully open packets and top each with cooked bacon and green onions, and drizzle with ranch. Serve warm with wine.
