Do you ever struggle to find a quick throw together meal that tastes good and is nutritious? This is one of my favorites whether we’re at home or out camping. Here’s my recipe from our Saturday night Dutch oven cooking competition. (tutorial on how to cook with a Dutch Oven over an open fire) It was a tie in case you’re wondering who won.
Ready to eat
This recipe is easily adaptable to whatever fresh vegetables you have on hand, making it different for each season. Because like a true pioneer, we try to use what’s in our garden, right? Food tastes better when it’s fresh and not shipped and refrigerated half way around the world, just one of the many benefits of a garden for body and soul.
Chopping up the veggies
For ease of clean up while we’re camping( less available water) I line my Dutch oven with aluminum foil. Chop all of your vegetables approximately the same size so everything can cook evenly.
Here’s the basic recipe and feel free to swap out the veggies.
Dutch Oven Chicken Vegetable Bake
2 small sliced zucchini (I used one yellow squash and one zucchini)
1 diced onion
3 cloves minced garlic
2 bell peppers (I prefer one red and one green)
2 or 3 small to medium red potatoes
2 cut up boneless skinless chicken breasts
Toss all of this in your Dutch oven and drizzle with olive oil. Mix in a packet of dried french onion soup mix until evenly coated.
Bake until everything is done, stirring half way through. Approximately 45 minutes in the Dutch oven or at 400 degrees in the regular oven. It’s crispier in the regular oven, but still delicious in the Dutch oven.
We served this with garlic bread, but I think it would be tasty in tortillas as well.
Do you enjoy cooking over the campfire? What’s your favorite camping memory?

This recipe looks awesome and easy! Just bought a chicken recently, so I’ll keep this one in mind!
Let me know if you do! I’m all for easy and yummy.
One word. Yum!
lol, Loree. It is pretty yummy, one of the dishes my kids don’t fuss about having to eat with lots of vegetables.
where can you find french onion soup mix that doesn’t have MSG in it. I am having trouble finding any bouillon without MSG or other yuck stuff in it.
Hey, Judith, here’s a link to make your own soup mix!
