Food Friday - Wrapped Garlic Chicken

Today is the last day of YW Camp - yippee!

In honor of the camping tradition, here is a recipe you can use next time you go camping:

4 Boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
4 large sheets aluminum foil
1/2 t salt
1 C sliced mushrooms
1 can Cream of Roasted Garlic Condensed Soup
4 sprigs of fresh rosemary

  • Place 1 chicken breast in center of each sheet of foil.
  • Lightly season with salt.
  • Top each breast with equal portions of mushrooms, soup, and rosemary.
  • Fold foil in half over chicken; seal all edges with double fold seals.
  • Bake at 425 for 20 minutes (or until chicken is no longer pink in the center)
Although this recipe is for a conventional oven, It would work great on a grill or in a dutch oven or even right in the fire pit (think tin foil dinner!).
