Cheesy Chicken Hobo Packs Recipes

CHEESY CHICKEN HOBO PACKS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F.
• Spray 4 large sheets of aluminum foil with oil. Set aside.
• Mix stuffing and water together in a mixing bowl. Spoon 1/4 of the mixture onto each aluminum foil sheet and set a chicken breast on top of each. Top each one with 1/2 cup of broccoli. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese, 1/4 of the bacon, and a drizzle of ranch dressing.
• Fold the sides of the foil up into a packet.
• Place all the packs onto a baking sheet and bake 20 - 25 minutes depending on the thickness of the chicken.
• Let stand about 5 minutes before serving.

CAMPFIRE FOIL PACKS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, or a large zip-top bag, combine the chicken, onion, mushrooms, yellow pepper, red pepper, garlic, and potatoes. Pour in the olive oil and lemon juice, then mix well.
• Evenly divide the mixture between 4 large sheets of aluminum foil. Top each with another sheet of foil, and roll up the edges tightly. Wrap each packet again, securely in another sheet of foil to double wrap.
• Cook in the hot coals of a campfire until the chicken is opaque and the potatoes are tender, around 40 minutes.

GRILLED CHEESY HAM SUPPER FOIL PACKS

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 4 (18x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Place ham piece in center of each. Top each evenly with potatoes and vegetable mixture. Bring up foil sides so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space on sides for heat circulation and expansion.
• Place packets, seam side up, on grill. Cover grill; cook over medium heat 18 to 23 minutes, rearranging packets several times during cooking, until potatoes and vegetables are tender.
• To serve, carefully open packets to allow steam to escape. Sprinkle each with cheese; close packets and let stand until cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes.

BACON AND CHICKEN FOIL PACKETS

Steps:

• In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until evenly brown. Drain, chop coarsely, and set aside.
• On 4 large squares of heavy duty aluminum foil, evenly distribute the potatoes, carrots, and onion. Arrange the chicken breasts over the vegetables, and sprinkle with the chopped bacon. Top each with 2 tablespoons butter, and season with garlic salt. Fold the foil over the ingredients, and tightly seal.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
• Place foil packets on the grill, and cook for 20 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.

SWEET POTATO AND APPLE HOBO PACK

Steps:

• Build a fire in the grill. Let the fire die down, until the coals are covered with gray ash.
• Put the golden raisins and Cognac in a small bowl and soak for 10 minutes.
• Tear off 8 sheets of heavy-duty foil, each about 2 feet long, and divide them into 2 stacks. Place half the sweet potato quarters, apple quarters, onion slices and sage in the center of the top sheet in each stack. Dot each with half the butter and half the raisins, plus the orange zest and salt and pepper to taste. Fold the top sheet in each stack over the vegetables, rotate each package one-quarter turn, and fold the second sheet over it. Repeat with remaining 2 sheets of foil.
• Place the packs in the coals around the periphery of the fire. Pile up the coals around the pack and cook 30 minutes.
• Remove the pack from the coals, unwrap and check: If the sweet potatoes need more time, put the pack back in the coals or in a 300-degree oven until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork but give a bit of resistance.

CHICKEN AND RICE CASSEROLE FOIL PACKS

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 4 (18x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Spray with cooking spray.
• Measure 1/2 cup of the condensed soup, and reserve. In 4-cup glass measuring cup, mix remaining condensed soup, the chicken broth and 1 teaspoon of the seasoning; beat with whisk to blend. Add instant rice; stir and let stand about 8 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir in carrots and peppers.
• Season chicken with remaining 2 teaspoons seasoning; place on center of each sheet of foil. Dividing evenly, spoon rice and vegetable mixture around each chicken breast. Divide any remaining soaking liquid over tops of breasts. Spread 2 tablespoons reserved soup over each breast; evenly top with bacon.
• Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
• Place packs on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 10 minutes. Rotate packs 1/2 turn; cook 9 to 10 minutes longer or until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (at least 165°F). Remove packs from grill; cut large X across top of each pack. Carefully fold back foil, and garnish with green onions.
