Equipment

  • heavy duty aluminum foil

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rice, cooked
  • 1 lb. chicken breast
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp. paprika
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 medium red bell pepper
  • 3 cups fresh broccoli, chopped (approximately 2 medium heads)
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil

Instructions

  • Cook rice to make two cups, or use pre-cooked rice. I prefer to undercook the rice slightly so it still has a little bite. It will finish cooking to become tender over the campfire.
  • Dice chicken breast into 1.5 inch cubes. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika.
  • Slice onion and peppers. Chop broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
  • Divide the onion and pepper between four pieces of aluminum foil. Add 1/4 cup rice to each piece of foil.
  • Add chicken breast pieces to each piece of foil and top with cream of chicken soup. (Split each of these ingredients into four equal parts for each packet.)
  • Add broccoli on top and add olive oil on top. Close up foil packet following the directions listed in the post.

Cook the Foil Packets

  • 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 minutes per side. Cooking times are approximate and will greatly depend on campfire temperature. Internal temperature of chicken breast should be 165 degrees F.
  • Sprinkle parmesan into each foil packet. Eat right out of the packet and enjoy!
