Here are some fun pictures and the recipe I used for our Chicken and Potato Dutch Oven Complete Dinner.
First in my adventure I Utubed "how to cook in a dutch oven" by this I was able to find what I needed to do to prepare my pot and the fire/coals.
There were also so many suggestions on what to make however i had my own idea. I am a person who loves to use what we have and not waste food. I am big on re-purposing Left Overs and making delicious food.
So here is what I came up with"
Chicken and Potato Dutch Oven Dinner
1 5lb Bag Potatoes (chop into 2 inch pieces and slightly brown in a pan on high for just a minute or two. do not cook just slightly brown the edges)
3 Cups chunk-ed chicken. (made Sunday for a chicken Alfredo pasta and I had a lot of left over chicken simply roasted with garlic, parsley, and oregano.)
1 small yellow onion chopped in think peices
2 Green Chili Peppers Chopped large
2 Cans Cream of chicken soup
3 Cans Milk
1 Cup Shredded Mexican blend Cheese
1/2 Bag of baby carrots.
Grease your dutch oven pot with Crisco. Then add all of the above ingredients. Potatoes, Chicken, Onion, Carrots, Peppers, Soup, cheese and Milk.
Make sure your fire is going and well. Creating natural coals in the bottom of your fire pit. Once you have a good fire and a good base of coals allow the fire to minimize and place your pot in the fire. Cover the top of your pot with some of the fire coals and allow to cook for 1 hr.
(My chicken was precooked, if you use uncooked chicken you will need to cook for longer.)
Serve with bbq Corn on the cob or any other Vegetable.
This is a creamy and delicious Dinner with a moist and creamy flavor. This recipe will serve about 20 people and each serving is approx. 280 calories.
