Cheesy Broccoli & Chicken
Ridiculously quick prep time makes these Foil pack Cheesy Broccoli & Chicken dinners perfect for campfire cooking! We’re combining smoked chicken sausage, uncooked rice, and broccoli in one foil packet and letting the coals do all the work! Don’t have a camping trip scheduled but still want to try this recipe? We’ve also tested it on the grill and in the oven!
The seasoning line-up is simple, but packs a punch of flavor! Chicken bouillon, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper is all you’ll need. Don’t leave out the chicken bouillon; it adds a lot. Olive oil. Not only does the oil add flavor, but it’s also great insurance against burnt veggies. Cheddar cheese. I recommend sharp or extra-sharp Cheddar cheese; both have a much more robust flavor than regular Cheddar — they’ve been aged longer.
