Equipment

  • heavy duty aluminum foil

Ingredients

Marinade Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

Foil Packet Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 small red onion
  • 1 orange or yellow bell pepper
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes
  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese
  • 1/3 cup parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup kalamata olives, diced

Instructions

  • To make the marinade, mince garlic cloves. Combine with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, thyme and oregano.
  • Pour half of the marinade over the chicken thighs. Allow the chicken to marinate for 15 minutes to upwards of 3 hours (place the chicken back in the cooler/fridge during marinade time).
  • Slice the zucchini in half lengthwise, and then into slices about1/2" thick. Slice pepper and onion into thick slices.
  • Place the vegetables (along with whole grape tomatoes) on a piece of foil and pour remaining marinade on the top of each foil packet. Toss to coat.
    Add one boneless, skinless chicken thigh to the top of the vegetables. Fold together to form a foil packet using two layers of foil. (See directions in post for detailed steps.)
  • Place the foil packets over indirect heat or over a small campfire. Placing the packets in large flames will result in uneven cooking. Foil packets can also be cooked on charcoal.
    Cook for approximately 10-15 minutes per side. Cooking times are approximate and will greatly depend on campfire temperature. Chicken thighs should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Sprinkle feta cheese, diced kalamata olives and chopped parsley into each foil packet. Enjoy!
