Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cubed into bite size pieces
  • Salt and black pepper to season
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning blend
  • 2 cloves garlic minced (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)
  • 1 large onion sliced thick and separated into rings
  • 1/2 pound andouille sausage links sliced into coins 1/2 inch thick
  • 2 cups broccoli florets about 2-inch pieces
  • 2 cups cauliflower florets about 2-inch pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped

Optional Serving Suggestion

  • 4 servings cooked rice or riced cauliflower

Instructions

  • These packets can be cooked over campfire coals, on a grill or placed on a cookie sheet to bake in ovens at 400 F degrees (RV, camp or conventional oven).
    Prepare for cooking with medium-high heat. Hold the palm of your hand about 5 inches above the heat source and pull away before it hurts, about 4 seconds indicates medium-high heat.
  • Cut 4 pieces of heavy-duty foil sheets, approximately 24 inch long rectangles (if you are using regular foil, you need two sheets per packet instead of one).
  • Evenly divide the ingredients and pile in the center of each piece of foil in the order of the ingredient list.
  • Fold foil and seal it for cooking.
  • Place foil packs, seam side up, on a grate over medium-high heat.
  • Cook packets until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender, about 20-25 minutes, (there is no need to flip the packets).
  • Carefully open the packet to release the hot steam.
  • You can eat this meal directly from the foil pouches or spoon mixture onto a plate.
