Cook 5 slices of bacon or equivalent amount of bacon crumbles and in a skillet.
Add your two bunches of radishes that you have cut into quarters. Let saute with bacon and in bacon grease for 5 minutes or so. The radishes will begin to soften and will take on the flavor of the bacon drippings.
Making Your Ranch Butter

Once combined Add 2 tablespoons of your Ranch Powder to 6 tablespoons of melted butter. Mix and combine your seasoning blend into your melted butter. This is your Ranch Butter.
Assembling the Packets
Take one sheet of greased foil and place about 1/4 of your cooked radishes in the center of your foil sheet.
Drizzle with Ranch butter.
Add 2 uncooked chicken thighs on top of your radishes, and season with more of your ranch powder if desired, and with salt and pepper to taste.
Fold aluminium foil to make a pouch ensuring that the edges are closed and tight. Repeat the above steps 4 times to make your additional packages.
Place on a baking sheet, and place in a preheated 425 degree oven. Cook for 40 - 45 minutes.
After 45 minutes remove packets from oven and open. There will probably be liquid/water from the radishes. You will need to carefully drain the water from each packet.
Once the water is drained. Leave your chicken packets open and sprinkle cheese evenly over every packet.
Place in oven for 5 - 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
