Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can freeze the cooked packets for a quick meal later. When reheating, place in the microwave on medium power until warmed through, or reheat gently in the oven. For best results, consider marinating the chicken in ranch dressing beforehand for extra flavor.
