Foil Chicken

This is a fantastically easy campfire meal. As with any foil meal this can be prepared at home and kept in the cooler. The prep is super easy as well with only the need to chop everything, season, and seal! So why not do a little meal prep before heading out to the campsite and enjoy a full meal when you get there.

Notes

Camp Hero Notes:
  1. Save yourself some time at the campsite and chop all of your veggies at home.
  2. Be creative! This works great with any number of veggies, fruits, and seasonings. Try adding some pineapple and teriyaki sauce to the mix for something different.
  3. Always practice safe campfire cooking techniques to prevent injury. Foil meals are great for kids but being safe is more important than the meal.
