Ingredients

  • 6 slices thick bacon cut in bite-size pieces
  • 1.5-2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cubed into bite sized pieces
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 (14 oz) can chicken broth
  • 2 pounds red potatoes washed and cut in 1-inch cubes
  • 1 pound carrots peeled and cut in 2-inch pieces
  • Fresh parsley for serving optional

Instructions

  • Heat a 12-inch Dutch oven over medium heat (campfire, charcoal briquettes or camp stove all work fine.)
  • Add the bacon to the pot, stirring occasionally until the fat is rendered and the bacon is browned, about 5 minutes. Do not drain the grease.
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then place it in the pot and cook until it is browned on all sides, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the onion and garlic to the pot and cook stirring continuously until softened, about 2 minutes.
  • Now, add the chicken broth, potatoes and carrots.
  • Cover with the Dutch oven lid and simmer gently until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through, about 20-25 minutes.
  • If you enjoy a stew-like consistency, serve immediately. If you prefer less liquid in your meal, turn the heat to medium high, remove the lid and boil for about 5 minutes so the broth is reduced and the meal can thicken slightly
  • Top with parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
