CAMPFIRE FOIL PACKS
These are easy to make for camping, my husband loves them! We prepare them at home and then leave them in the cooler until we are ready to cook. You can use any combination of meat and vegetables that you like. Do not try to use less olive oil or foil or your dinner will burn. Be careful when opening foil as steam will have formed inside and can burn you.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best for this recipe. Chicken breasts are leaner, while thighs are more flavorful.
- Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your packets the best flavor. If you're using frozen vegetables, thaw them before using.
- Season the chicken and vegetables well: Season the chicken and vegetables with your favorite herbs and spices. This will help them taste their best.
- Seal the packets tightly: Make sure to seal the packets tightly so that the juices don't leak out. You can use a double layer of foil or parchment paper to ensure a good seal.
- Cook the packets over a medium fire: Cook the packets over a medium fire so that the chicken and vegetables have time to cook through without burning.
- Let the packets rest before opening: Let the packets rest for a few minutes before opening so that the juices can redistribute. This will help prevent the chicken from drying out.
Conclusion:
Campfire chicken packets are a delicious and easy way to cook chicken and vegetables over a campfire. They're perfect for camping trips, picnics, or backyard cookouts. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of preparation, you can enjoy a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
