Dutch Oven Recipes

Dutch Oven Chicken And Vegetables

Ingredients:

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Start by preparing your campfire. You'll want a good bed of hot coals to cook your Dutch oven meal.

  2. Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in your Dutch oven over the campfire.

  3. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs, skin side down, and sear until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the Dutch oven and set aside.

  4. In the same Dutch oven, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. SautƩ until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

  5. Add the sliced carrots and diced potatoes to the Dutch oven, stirring to combine with the onions and garlic.

  6. Return the seared chicken thighs to the Dutch oven, nestling them amongst the vegetables.

  7. Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle the dried thyme, rosemary, and paprika evenly over everything.

  8. Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and place it over the hot coals of the campfire. Allow the chicken and vegetables to simmer in the Dutch oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

  9. Once done, carefully remove the Dutch oven from the campfire. Serve the Campfire Dutch Oven Chicken and Vegetables hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.

This hearty and flavorful dish is perfect for enjoying around the campfire with friends and family. The Dutch oven helps to infuse the chicken and vegetables with rich, savory flavors, making it a satisfying meal for any outdoor adventure!

Campfire Dutch Oven Peach Cobbler

Ingredients:

  • 6 cups sliced fresh or canned peaches (if using canned, drain excess syrup)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Start by preparing your campfire and setting up your Dutch oven for cooking. You'll want a good bed of hot coals for baking.

  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss everything together until the peaches are well coated with the sugar and spices.

  3. Transfer the peach mixture to the bottom of your Dutch oven, spreading it out into an even layer.

  4. In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, diced cold butter, and salt. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix the ingredients together until you have a crumbly texture.

  5. Sprinkle the crumbly flour mixture evenly over the top of the peaches in the Dutch oven.

  6. Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and place it over the hot coals of the campfire. Bake the peach cobbler for about 45-55 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling.

  7. Once done, carefully remove the Dutch oven from the campfire. Allow the peach cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving.

  8. Serve the Campfire Dutch Oven Peach Cobbler warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
