Chicken Foil Packets | Campfire Recipes
A smoky, savory chicken foil packet brimming with colorful veggies and cooked to perfection over an open fire.
Ingredients
- 32 oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 16 oz asparagus
- 3 bell peppers assorted colors, chopped
- 2 shallots minced
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- ¼ cup fresh parsley roughly chopped
- 1 lemon juiced
- 6 tablespoons butter
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat a cast iron grill over an open fire for about 2 hours. Prepare six 10x10 foil sheets.
- Season each chicken breast with salt and pepper, then rub with the minced garlic and shallots.
- Place 1/2 cup of chopped peppers onto the center of each foil sheet. Place a breast on top of the peppers. Add one tablespoon of butter per packet and three spears of asparagus.
- Wrap the chicken and vegetables tightly in the foil, using a second layer of foil as needed.
- Place each foil packet onto the preheated cast iron grill, or directly on top of the coals. Bake the packets for about 20 minutes, then flip them over. Check the internal temperature with a thermometer 10 to 15 minutes after flipping. The chicken is done when it reaches 165°F.
- Serve alongside garlic butter shrimp, succotash and other campfire delicacies. Enjoy!
