A camping recipe from David. This quick recipe can be prepared on a two-burner camp stove with a big skillet and a 2-quart pot with a lid, or you can prepare everything in a 12-inch Dutch oven.
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 0 hour, 0 minute
Ingredients:
  • 4 chicken breasts, cut into strips
  • 1 can tomato sauce
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 1 green pepper, chopped
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon sweet basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried minced garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • salt and pepper, to taste
Preparation:
Cook chicken breast strips in a hot lightly oiled skillet for a few minutes until they are no longer pink. Reduce heat and add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Serve over rice, which you can prepare simultaneously in a pot on the other burner. Great with some crusty French bread.

If you like Dutch oven cooking, simply add 1 cup of un-cooked rice and 2 cups of water to the Dutch oven with the rest of the ingredients. Cook, stirring occasionally, until rice absorbs water.

Servings: 4-6
Preparation time: 30 minutes
