This has always been one of my favorite camping and easy dinner recipes. I change it around depending on what I have on hand. It's great with fish, too. We use orange roughy. Thanks for sharing!

These were great! We prepared them at home before we left and threw them in the cooler. It was nice that we could customize what each person wanted in their foil pack. We cooked them on the campfire while we finished setting up camp. They were a great time saver for the first night of camping!

Very good! I added some extra veggies, like green beans, carrots, ect. My husband hates green beans, so let me tell you, I was absolutely shocked when I saw him eat one and say he thought it was really good! So any recipe that does something like that for my husband deserves a five star rating! Instead of smaller sheets of aluminium foil, find the extra long, heavy duty foil. We only used two long sheets of it. Very, very good recipe that we will use again when we go camping (or just over the hot coals of our grill)! Thank you!

The kids thought this was such an adventure while we were camping, It was a easy way to start off our trip. With 6 kids with us every one could create their pack the way they liked it. I pre-cut the veggies,that made it real fast when we got to camp. The best part was everyone put it on a paper plate so no dishes!

These were very good, it just took me a couple tries to figure out the right amount of time to put it in the fire. My first attempt (trying the suggested cook time) came out completely burnt

I made this over the weekend for my husband while we were camping in northern Arizona. I cut the recipe in 1/2 because it was only 2 of us. He loved it. Next time I'll use the whole recipe because he said their wasn't enough. One thing I will do, is remember to turn the packed over every 10 minutes so it won't burn. Very tasty.

I made this for a group of 10 while camping. It was nice to be able to make it in advance - I added the potatoes along with everything else, but didn't add the mushrooms until before putting on the grill because I didn't want to chance having them turn brown. Since I had 12 packets, this was kind of a lot of work, and I would really prefer not to have to do it that way again. Next time I may chance having the shrooms turn dark! This was very good, and everyone aged 10 through 66 liked it very much , but personally, I thought it was a little bland. Make sure to add some kind of seasoning. I added salt, pepper and Montreal Chicken Seasoning, but I think it could have used even more of something. Very good, but just needs a little "oomph".

Didn't care for the lemon juice. I've been making this for many years and thought I would actually follow a recipe this time. It was edible but the lemon flavor ruined the overall dish. Might just be our personal taste and not the recipe.

I do this recipe at home ALL the time :) Instead of peppers I usually do zucchini and a little of Emeril's BAM spice! Awesome!! I have even used couscous instead of potatoes when I do it on the stove!

A nice & easy camping recipe. I added a little salt and pepper (or seasoning salt) and served with a tasty bottled sauce. On our grill, it only took 25-30 min to cook.

I made these for a camping trip but i used cube steak instead of chicken. Delicious! We put them right on the Q grill and kept flipping them.

I made this for my boyfriend and he ate three of the four! He loved it! I made it in the oven at 375 degrees for about an hour. I also added mushrooms and left out the carrots. I'll have to double it next time!

we always masde this when I went camping as a kid...but we would use hamburger, onions and carrots (subbing for the chicken and peppers) and keeping all the rest of the recipie. LOVED it every time... I have made it at home in the oven too, never as good as on the campfire though.

Since campfires are not an option for us, I either grill these packets, or bake them in my oven. My only change is to leave the chicken cubes out of the packets--but not out of our meal. If grilling, I cook the chicken on skewers, and if baking, I stir-fry the chicken until lightly browned.

very good. I've never really like bell pepers, so I didn't do the yellow bell peppers, but it was still really good. yeah, don't cut back on the olive oil or lemon juice. gives you results that aren't really that edible. Thank You!!
