Dutch Oven: Chicken & Rice


One of my favorite things about camping is the food.  Whether it's cooked over the fire, in the hot coals, or in a dutch oven.  It's always good.  This past weekend I went to the cabin with my girl friends.  We dined on such delicacies as hot dogs, s'mores, banana boats, pancakes & bacon & eggs, and we busted out the dutch oven for some Chicken & Rice.  It was tasty.

4+ cups Chicken Stock
1/2 cube Butter
1 1/2 cups Rice
Chopped Onion, Bell Pepper, Celery
3 Chicken Breasts, cut into chunks and seasoned generously with poultry seasoning
2 cans of Biscuits

Combine the stock, butter, rice and veggies in the pre-heated dutch oven.  Lay chicken on top.  Cook for 1 1/2 hours with 10 coals on bottom and 12 coals on top.  When rice is tender, and chicken is done, layer the top with biscuits.  Replace lid - putting more coals on top - and cook for another 10-15 minutes.

Enjoy while sitting around the campfire!
