Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 whole lemon, sliced
- 2 cups carrots, thinly sliced
- 2 cups zucchini, thinly sliced
- 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 sheets aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your campfire or grill to medium heat.
Lay out 4 sheets of aluminum foil, each about 12 inches long.
Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil onto each foil sheet to prevent sticking.
Place one chicken breast in the center of each foil sheet.
Divide the sliced lemon, carrots, zucchini, and red bell pepper evenly among the packets, arranging them around the chicken.
Sprinkle the minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper over the chicken and vegetables.
Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the top of each packet.
Fold the foil over the chicken and vegetables, sealing the edges tightly to create a packet.
Place the foil packets on the grill or in the hot coals of the campfire.
Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender.
Carefully remove the packets from the heat and let them cool for a minute before opening, being cautious of the hot steam inside.
Serve directly in the foil for easy cleanup. Enjoy your meal!
