Outdoor Adventure!
This month, I'm heading out on a journey I've wanted to take for quite some time. I'll be escaping on a week-long mule trip in the Thorofare Wilderness area of Wyoming. I'm really looking forward to the beautiful scenery, wildlife, and unspoiled atmosphere this part of the country has to offer.
In honor of my upcoming stint far from the world of cell phones, email, and modern conveniences, I'm passing on a favorite recipe, meant to be cooked under the stars, and over the campfire!
Campfire Chicken and Potato Parcels
Ingredients (Makes 4 packets)
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - diced4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 medium red bell peppers, chopped
1 large white onion, chopped
3 celery ribs, chopped
2 cups favorite barbeque sauce
Directions:
- Make four foil packets: using 1-foot squares of heavy duty aluminum foil: fold square in half and smooth flat. Seal each of the narrow ends by folding over each edge three times to make a 1/4-inch border, smoothing flat after every fold. You should now have a foil packet that is open on one long side. Repeat to form four packets.
- In a bowl or resealable plastic bag, combine the potatoes, chicken cubes, red peppers, onion, celery, and barbeque sauce; mix well. Evenly divide the mixture among the foil packets. Roll up the open end of the packets to seal.
- Place packets on a grill over the coals of a fire. Cook until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is fully cooked, about 25 minutes, depending on the intensity of the heat.
