Foil Packet Dinner's Revised

Ranch Chicken and Potato Foil Packs
8 small new potatoes, unpeeled, cut into wedges
6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 20 oz.), cut in half
1/3 cup vegetable (your choice)
1 1/4 cup ranch dressing
4 slices precooked bacon, chopped
1/4 cup chopped green onions (4 medium)
1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
Heat gas or charcoal grill or pre-heat air fryer to 430 degrees or pre-heat oven to 430 degrees. Cut 4 (18x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty (or nonstick) foil. If using heavy-duty foil, spray foil with cooking spray.
For each packet, place about 1 cup potato wedges, vegetable and 3 thigh halves onto center of foil sheet. Drizzle with scant 1/3 cup dressing. Wrap each packet securely using double-fold seals, allowing room for heat expansion.
If using a grill, when heated, place foil packets on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill over medium coals; cover grill. If using air fryer or oven place foil packets on baking sheet and place in the air fryer or oven. Cook 45 to 50 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (180 degrees), and potatoes are tender.
Remove packets from grill, air fryer or oven; open carefully to allow steam to escape. Sprinkle each with bacon, onions and pepper.

On each patty add 1 tablespoon aioli, 1/2 cup cheese, 1/4 cup green beans. Top each evenly with potatoes. Wrap each packet securely using double-fold seals, allowing for heat expansion.
