I know a lot of people like to go camping during the summer months, so I wanted to share this super easy camping-friendly recipe for any readers who might have an end-of-summer camping trip coming up! You can even do the prep work before you head out!
Mediterranean Lemon Chicken and Potatoes
Cost per serving: $1.94
Servings: 4
Ready Time: 50
Prep Time: 20
Cook Time: 30
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 lb. Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup reduced-fat Greek or olive oil vinaigrette
1/3 cup quartered Kalamata olives (optional)
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon dry oregano
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 cup chopped tomato
Directions:
Mix all ingredients except tomatoes in a large bowl. Place equal amounts onto 4 large squares of heavy-duty foil. Fold in top and sides of each to enclose filling, leaving room for air to circulate. Grill over medium heat for about 25 to 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are soft. Carefully open packets and sprinkle equal amounts of tomato over each. Makes 4 servings.
Note: Packets may also be baked at 400°F for 30 minutes instead of grilling.

I make these quite often for camping. If you intend to put this or any foil packet (we call these tin-foil dinners) directly in a campfire for cooking, I recommend layering at least three sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Unless you happen to savor the flavor of wood ashes as a seasoning.
