I have made these many times, every time we go camping! I do have changes though that make it really good. I use hamburger instead of chicken. I also use potatoes, green peppers and onions. Lastly, I do not use oil, it makes the food really oily, I put a little butter and 2 ice cubs in the foil, this keeps everything really moist. I will put some of each in nonstick foil, throw in fire...and you have a fantastic dinner. Add some corn on the cob and you have a mighty fine dinner with almost no cleanup! Try it on the grill too, just as good!

We use chicken thighs, which protects the chicken and gives a great flavor. we also add a drop water and a pat of butter, leave a little air for expansion when wrapping, and turn over on the coals when you start to smell the food cooking. we also use everglades seqsoning. it is really good and a standard meal for our camp trips

This came out great! I kept it in the coals for a good 40 minutes, resulting in some of the food getting blackened, which actually improved the taste. I also ended up using about 5 sheets of foil, 2 sheets just wasn't stronge enough.

My grandma taught me to make this when I was in middle school. I've always just cooked it in the oven. Since I have such a sweet tooth i use Dorthy Lynch dressing instead of the oil and lemon juice. I also use baby carrots(sliced in half if they are very thick) instead of the mushrooms. My grandma would also make them with a hamburger and some ketchup.

I altered this recipe with lemon & pepper and cooked it in my oven @ 500 degrees for 50 minutes to glorious results. I will use it again & highly recommend this version of a timeless classic.

This recipe is Awesome! I have seriously been waiting all winter to go camping again to make it. The only thing we changed and this was just on our vegetable preference, we added Zucchini, more mushrooms and 2 yellow bell peppers instead of the one red one. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.

I left out the peppers because no one here likes them but my family loved this one so much we don't wait till we're camping to make it. I do it right on the BBQ grill!
