Categories main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

4 boneless chicken breasts with skin
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup peanut oil
1 lime, juiced
1-inch piece ginger, peeled and chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Put the chicken breasts in a large plastic freezer bag. Add the soy sauce, peanut oil, lime juice, ginger, and garlic. Seal the bag and shake it well to combine the ingredients. Marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight. You can put the bag in the freezer where it will keep for up to 6 months. When you are ready to cook the chicken, remove it from the freezer and thaw it overnight in the refrigerator.
Heat a well-seasoned cast iron pan, a non stick skillet, or a grill pan over medium high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess; season with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken breast until done, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Slice and serve on top of the Hearty Shiitake Mushroom and Miso Soup.

CAMPFIRE FOIL PACKS

These are easy to make for camping, my husband loves them! We prepare them at home and then leave them in the cooler until we are ready to cook. You can use any combination of meat and vegetables that you like. Do not try to use less olive oil or foil or your dinner will burn. Be careful when opening foil as steam will have formed inside and can burn you.

Categories One Dish Meal

Time 1h

Yield 1 packet

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 chicken thigh
1 small russet potato, scrubbed & sliced (or 1/2 medium potato)
1/2 small onion, sliced
1/3 green bell pepper, sliced
salt
pepper
1/2 teaspoon olive oil

Steps:

For each packet, place a 10 inches long piece of aluminum foil on the counter. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Place sliced potato on the foil. Season them with salt & pepper to taste.
Top with onions, peppers, then the chicken.
Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil on top of the chicken. Season chicken with salt & pepper.
Wrap the aluminum foil up tightly, making sure there are no tears or "leaks". Double wrap the packets in foil if necessary.
Grill at 400 for 35 minutes, or until done. Or, cook over an open fire.

Tips:

Choose the right chicken: Use a whole chicken for a moist and flavorful result. You can also use chicken breasts or thighs, but they will cook more quickly, so adjust the cooking time accordingly.

Prepare the chicken: Rinse the chicken inside and out and pat it dry. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.

Build the campfire: Choose a location that is away from overhanging branches and other flammable materials. Build a small fire and let it burn down to coals.

Cook the chicken: Place the chicken on a grill grate over the coals. Cook the chicken for 1-1.5 hours per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Let the chicken rest: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.

Serve the chicken: Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or corn on the cob.

Conclusion:

Campfire chicken is a delicious and easy way to enjoy a meal in the great outdoors. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that everyone will love. So next time you're planning a camping trip, be sure to add campfire chicken to your menu.
