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.

  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs adds flavor and helps keep the chicken moist.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Feel free to mix and match your favorite vegetables. Some good options include potatoes, carrots, onions, zucchini, and mushrooms.
  • Wrap the foil packets tightly: Make sure to seal the foil packets tightly so that the steam doesn't escape. This will help cook the chicken and vegetables evenly.
  • Cook over medium heat: Cook the foil packets over medium heat for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
