How To Make This Latin Campfire Chicken Recipe
Some of the best easy camping meals are just a combination of good ingredients that are mixed together in a single pot and create a complete meal.
Step 1. Prep the ingredients.
You’ll need to cut up some chicken and chop the veggies including the garlic, sweet potato and bell pepper.

Step 2. Prepare your cooking equipment.
I like making this as one of our campfire recipes, so you’ll need to get your fire going to cook over coals … you can also use charcoal briquettes as a heat source.
Alternatively, this meal can be made as one of the easiest camp stove recipes because you are just simmering the entire pot over a medium-low heat. If you want to use this method, get your stove ready to cook on a level surface.
Step 3. Combine the ingredients and cook.
Now it is time to mix all of the ingredients together in a 12 inch camp Dutch oven including the chicken, salsa, broth, cumin, allspice, salt, pepper, garlic, sweet potato, bell pepper and beans.
You’ll put the lid on your oven so the pot can get up to temperature … you will be simmering the ingredients over a medium-low heat, covered for about 45 minutes.
You want the chicken to be cooked through and the potatoes to become tender.
This warm and hearty meal make it perfect for winter camping recipes on cold weather trips!
Step 4. Uncover to thicken.
At this point, this Dutch oven chicken camping meal will seem almost soup-like in its consistency so you’ll want to remove the lid and continue to cook uncovered until all of the liquid is absorbed … this will take about 20 – 30 minutes.

Step 5. Top and serve.
A bit of fresh cilantro really brings a nice, bright flavor to this dish.
Just sprinkle it over the top of the meal and serve.
