Cajun Chicken Foil Packets
These easy 5-ingredient chicken and veggie foil packs are a healthy meal that's filled with tender boneless chicken thighs, peppers, and onions, all gently infused with Cajun seasoning.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 bell pepper sliced
- 1 medium red onion cut into wedges
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the grill for medium heat (375°F) or prepare a campfire with hot coals.
- Combine the chicken, pepper, onion, olive oil, and Cajun seasoning in a large bowl and mix well to combine.
- Divide the chicken mixture among 4 large sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil. Fold the foil around the food to create foil packets.
- Cook over the grill or hot coals until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, 18 to 20 minutes.
Notes
-
- Get ahead--Slice your veggies and cube your chicken before heading out on your trip. Store the meat and vegetables separately, then assemble them at camp, just before cooking.
- Check for salt--Take a peek at the label on your Cajun seasoning. If it doesn't contain salt, or it's the last ingredient on the list, sprinkle the uncooked mixture with a few pinches of salt before cooking.
-
- Don't burn yourself!--Be careful when opening the foil packs as there will be plenty of hot steam trapped inside.
-
- Dietary--This recipe is suitable for gluten-free and dairy-free diets.
