Campfire Chicken

Split chicken breast
Red potatoes (cut in half)
Carrots (cut in half)
Onion (cut in half)
Plum tomato (cut in half)
Place the above ingredients into aluminum foil sheets, make into pocket. You can add some seasonings (I use some balsamic dressing mix). Bake in the oven or over a campfire. You can also add a small piece of corn on the cob. This is great - it's a I full meal but no pots or dishes to wash. Great for camping.

Chicken Dinner in a Bag

For this, you need to purchase some Reynolds Hot Bags. At home before you leave for the camping trip, dice your choice of vegetables you’d like to use. You can use green beans, corn, mushrooms or peppers. Potatoes will have to wait until you need them as you don’t want black potatoes in your chicken bag. Place skinless, boneless chicken breasts into the bag, layer on the vegetables and a packet of dry onion soup mix, a tablespoon of flour and 4-5 tablespoons of butter or margarine.

Place the bag on top of the grill and turn about every 15 minutes until done. If your coals are very hot, everything should be cooked within 30 to 45 minutes.
