OVEN|GRILL READY LITTLE POTATOES

For this recipe I am using one of The Little Potato Company’s newest oven ready flavors – Onion and Chive (not a paid affiliate link). I am a huge fan of this new flavor. They are so simple to prepare. You just remove the plastic film and the seasoning packet. Then pop the whole oven-safe tray into a preheated oven or grill. Once they are fork tender, you just add a little butter or oil and the seasoning packet. Stir then serve!

WHAT IF I CAN’T FIND THESE LITTLE POTATOES?

No worries! Just purchase a pound of baby potatoes or new potatoes. Dice and session with some ranch seasoning and/or garlic and herb seasoning.

HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN AND POTATO FOIL PACKS:

Preheat oven to 400f degrees. Remove Little potatoes from packaging and cut in half. Place sliced potatoes in a medium-sized bowl and sprinkle with the Onion & Chive seasoning packet and ranch seasoning mix, if using. Add in minced garlic and stir mixture together.

Cut four (18×12-inch) sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil. Evenly distribute all the potatoes onto each piece of aluminum foil. Reserve the leftover heavy cream – we’ll use that again in a minute.

Top potatoes with sliced onions and a tablespoon of salted butter. Repeat this process for the other three packs.

Evenly distribute the chicken thighs onto each of the four potato packs. Roll the packets up so that the top and sides are sealed. Place packets onto a large baking sheet. Place baking sheet into the preheated oven and cook for about 40-50 minutes.

When done, remove packets from the oven and open very carefully (it will be HOT) each packet and top with shredded cheese and bacon pieces. Keep the packets open and place the baking sheet back into the oven and cook just until the cheese has melted.
