Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked rice
  • 3 cups cooked chicken beast chopped
  • 16 ounces frozen mixed vegetables
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup marinara sauce

Instructions

  • Heat grill to medium, leaving an area clear of heat for indirect cooking.
  • Prepare 9x16 inch sheets of aluminum foil. Fold in half to make a pocket 9x8 inches. Fold the short ends over twice, each time about a half inch to create a seal, leaving the top open. Label each pocket with a name, if desired.
  • Mix vegetables with cumin, salt, pepper, and paprika in a small bowl.
    1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Scoop ingredients into each pocket. Start with the rice, add chicken and then veggies. Sprinkle cheese atop this, and finish with marinara. Exact measurements and amounts are not critical.

  • Serve immediately.

  • If you don't have leftover rice, you can make quick-cooking rice.
  • When camping, your ingredients won't be frozen, so reduce the cooking time accordingly.
