Campfire Chicken and Potato Foil Packets
A healthy campfire foil packet meal of chicken, potatoes, and carrots that's ready in under an hour.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (1 batch) all-purpose seasoning blend
- 8 (about 2 pounds | 900 g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 pound carrots cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 pound new or waxy potatoes cut into 1-inch pieces
Instructions
- Prepare a bed of hot coals or preheat a grill for medium heat (400°F).
- Stir the oil and seasoning blend together in a large bowl.
- Add the chicken, carrots, and potatoes and mix well to combine. Try to get each piece coated with some of the seasoned oil.
- Divide the mixture among four large sheets of aluminum foil. Fold up each sheet to create a pouch, enclosing the chicken and vegetables.
- Set the foil packets over the fire and cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes and carrots are tender, about 30 minutes. You should hear sizzling coming from your campfire foil packets.
- Open carefully and let cool slightly before devouring.
