How to Make Bacon Wrapped Ranch Chicken

  1. In a large zip-top bag, whisk together 1 packet (1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar.
  2. Add 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total) to the bag. Seal the bag, pressing out excess air, and massage the marinade into the chicken. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1-3 hours.
  3. Preheat your grill to high heat for 5-10 minutes. While preheating, soak 10-20 toothpicks in a cup of warm water for 5 minutes.
  4. Remove chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Wrap each chicken breast with 2-3 slices of bacon, securing with two toothpicks.
  5. Reduce grill heat to medium-high. Place the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts on the preheated grill grates.
  6. Grill for 9 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the bacon is crispy. Turn the chicken only once.
  7. Remove the chicken from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before removing the toothpicks. Serve immediately and enjoy!
  8. (Optional) Garnish with fresh parsley or chives before serving.
