Tin Foil Dinners by Ian!

Tonight was Game of Thrones night and to top off a beautiful and fun-packed weekend we barbecued tin foil dinners! Ian made these the first (and only time) he took me camping and let me say, it was by far the highlight of our camping trip. Other highlights (not good ones) were me getting stung by a bee for the first time, not finding the poles in the tent bag and having to bungee cord our tent to two trees, Ian breaking out in hives all over his body from the pollen in the river water, etc. It was a weekend of camping we will never forget :) Tonight our tin foil dinners included chicken, carrots, sweet potatoes, onions topped with butter, garlic and Eckness (a Burns family seasoning as I like to call it). They were delicious and I got to save some for lunch this week! My sous chef and I switched roles for this meal and he led the way!

Ingredients 

(for 1 tin foil dinner + leftovers)

1 chicken breast

1/2 small sweet onion

3-4 large carrots chopped

1 small sweet potato, boiled then chopped

1-2 tsp butter

1 clove garlic, minced

Eckness seasoning! (If you don't have Eckness you can use any seasoning salt blend)

Equipment:

tin foil

BBQ

Directions

1. Rip off a good piece of tin foil, approximately 1.5 ft long. Place raw chicken breast in the middle of foil and sprinkle with Eckness. Press the seasoning into the chicken breast on both sides. 

2. Put your butter and half the garlic on top of the chicken.

3. Pile your vegetables on top of of the chicken. Add the rest of your garlic and more Eckness! 

4. Add some more Eckness!

5. Wrap up the tin foil so everything is secure inside. Add another layer of tin foil around it.

6. Barbecue for about 30 minutes. You can check at about 20 minutes to see how cooked the chicken is.
