Prep Time15 minutes
Course: Appetizer, dinner
Cuisine: American, campfire, grilling
Keyword: Campfire Chicken Nacho Foil Packet
Yield: 6 servings

Equipment

Materials

  • Tortilla Chips
  • 2 cups Chicken - precooked and seasoned as well as shredded or chopped.
  • 2 cups Cheese - shredded, use a combination of cheeses for better flavor.
  • Toppings - as desired

Instructions

Prepare the packets.

  • Start by laying out the sheets of foil that will hold the nachos. You can give the foil a quick spray of nonstick.
  • Sprinkle about a half tablespoon of shredded cheese in the center of each of the foil sheets. Then place a handful of the tortilla chips on top of the cheese. The chips should be in mound and about an inch away from the edges of the foil.
  • Layer the chicken and the remaining cheese over the chips. To close the foil to make the packet, bring up the corners of the foil so that the two corners on the left side of the foil meet and the two corners on the right side meet. Pinch the corners together and then seal the sides of the foil to make the packet.

Cook the packets

  • Grilling Method. Preheat your grill to 350 degrees or a medium heat. Place the foil packets on the grill with the opening on the packets facing up.
    Grill the packets for 10-12 minutes or until the ingredients are warm and the cheese appears to be melted.
    Carefully open the packets on a plate or something flat and enjoy.
  • Oven Method. Prepare the packets as indicated and preheat your oven to 350. Place the foil packets on a rimmed baking sheet with the openings facing up. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the ingredients are warm and the cheese appears to be melted. Carefully open the packets on a plate or something flat and enjoy.
  • Campfire Method. Prepare the foil packets as indicated above. It is best to use a grill, grate, or cast iron pan rather than placing the packets directly on the fire. Cook the packets for 8-10 minutes or until the ingredients are warm and the cheese appears to be melted. Carefully open the packets on a plate or something flat and enjoy.
