I love to take my family camping. We usually get to go at least once a year but I wish we would make time to go more often.  When the kids were little, we had an old popup camper. It was in pretty rough shape and I finally sold it and bought a new tent that was plenty big enough for the whole family.

When it comes to camping I am all about the food. Now campfire cooking can be as easy as hot dogs and chips but I like to get a little more flavor out of my camping food especially when using El Yucateco® sauces.Go Native with my flavorful and Easy Chicken & Summer Vegetable Foil Packets with Habanero Butter made with El Yucatec® Red Habanero Sauce.

Easy Chicken & Summer Vegetable Foil Packets

My Easy Chicken & Summer Vegetable Foil Packets with Habanero Butter is the perfect plan ahead meal for the campfire or the grill, even if you are just camping out, in the backyard with the kids. I used El Yucateco® Red Habanero Sauce and El Yucateco® Chipotle Sauce to make my habanero butter and the marinade for my recipe.

El Yucateco® sauces enhance the flavor of any dish. You can find El Yucateco® Sauces and most retailers. I found the sauces at my local Jungle Jim’s international market in the hot sauce section of the store.

Method:

All ingredients for my Easy Chicken & Summer Vegetable Foil Packets can be prepared and assembled ahead of time to make your camping experience easier. Make the butter by combining softened butter,  Habanero Sauce, and Chipotle Sauce until smooth. Freeze or refrigerate until ready to make packets.

Whisk the ingredients for the marinade and set aside. Pre-heat your campfire or grill to medium-high heat. Make your packets by overlapping two pieces of foil and spraying it with cooking spray. Divide chicken and veggies between the four packets.

Brush with marinade and top with butter. Fold the long edges to close the packets. Fold in the ends to seal completely. Cook for 20 – 25 minutes until internal chicken temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes before opening packets.

    Looks like you have been on a habanero theme this summer – what with the habanero ice cream earlier and now habanero butter. Delicious! #FiestaFriday

      Thanks. I love the taste of habanero’s and the heat is okay if you treat it correctly. I am making habanero jelly today. It is great served over cream cheese with crackers. Thanks for stopping by. Happy FF

    I love the idea of foil packages and for some reason never utilize it. This looks amazing and the habanero butter sounds like something I may want to try.
