Cheesy Chicken Hobo Pack

Looking for new recipes with all the camper fun we are going to have this summer, so tried this out at the cabin with the fam and it was delicious!!!


Ingredients:
1 box chicken flavored stuffing
1 1/4 cups water
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups chopped broccoli
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
4 tablespoons ranch dressing

Preheat oven to 400.  (We just put these on the grill and it worked great!)

Spray 4 large sheets of foil with oil - set aside.

Mix stuffing and water together in mixing bowl.  Spoon 1/4 of mixture onto each piece of foil and set a chicken breast on top of each (we cut our chicken into bite size pieces and had just mixed in with everything - that worked great too).Top with 1/2 cup broccoli - sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese, 1/4 of bacon, and drizzle of ranch dressing

Fold the sides of foil to make a packet.

Place the packs on baking sheet and bake 20-25 minutes depending on thickness of chicken.

Let stand 5 minutes before serving

21 DAY FIX INSTANT POT MAPLE BBQ CHICKEN

Ha!  Pic doesn't do it justice but this was YUMMY :)  Quick way to make chicken breast too!!
SERVES 4
  • 1 to 1.5 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup tomato paste
·         1/3 cup water
·         1/4 cup of coconut aminos (or sub low sodium soy sauce if not gluten-free)
·         3 Tbsp pure maple syrup
·         2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
·         1/4 tsp garlic powder
·         1/4 tsp onion powder
·         sprinkle of sea or Himalayan salt and black pepper
·         optional – thickener of your choice (arrowroot, tapioca, cornstarch, etc)

1.     Place chicken thighs in Instant Pot.
2.     Mix together the remaining ingredients (besides thickener). Pour sauce over chicken.
3.     Set to manual for 10 minutes. After cook time, switch to quick release. Open the lid carefully once it is unlocked. Remove chicken thighs with slotted spoon and set aside.
4.     To thicken the BBQ sauce, set Instant Pot to saute. Stir as it simmers. If you need to thicken it more, add in your choice of thickener, one tsp at a time until desired thickness. Taste and adjust seasonings and add a touch more maple syrup for a sweeter sauce. Cover chicken with sauce and enjoy!
5.     For the slow cooker: Place thighs and ingredients for BBQ sauce in crock pot. Cook on low for 4 hours. After cook time is through, simmer sauce in a small saucepan over medium low heat until desired thickness. Enjoy!
