Easy chix and veggies

What do you need:

• 1/2 kg. boneless skinless chicken breast, cubed

• 1 cup sliced ​​fresh mushrooms

• 4 small potatoes, skinless, diced

• 4 garlic cloves, sliced

• 2 onions, diced

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• Salt and pepper to taste

Combine chicken, mushrooms, potatoes, garlic, onion, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper in a large bowl. Add the lemon juice and olive oil to the bowl and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat chicken and vegetables with oil and juice.

Divide mixture into 4 large foil sheets and fold to form packets. Cook on the grill or hot coals until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through, about 40 minutes. Remove from heat and cool for a few minutes before serving.

Mexican smoked tilapia

What do you need:

• 4 tilapia fillets

• 1 large green bell pepper, minced

• 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced

• 1/4 large onion, chopped

• 1 can diced tomatoes (about 2 cups)

• 1/2 cup olive oil

• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander

• 1 teaspoon minced garlic

• Salt and pepper

At home, combine the olive oil and garlic in a large resealable bag. Season the steaks with salt and pepper and then place them inside the bag. Shake to coat the fish with oil. Refrigerate until ready to use.

At camp, place each steak on a sturdy square of aluminum foil. Place bell pepper, jalapeño, onion, tomatoes, and cilantro on top of each fillet, then fold in foil to create bundles. Cook on a preheated grill or grill over a campfire, turning once, for 10 minutes or until fish is cooked through. Serve hot.
