Grilled Chicken Soup recipe image

This unique campfire classic combines the convenience of canned soup with fresh grilled chicken and fluffy minute rice, all steamed together in sealed foil packets. The cream of mushroom or chicken soup creates a rich, savory base that absorbs the flavors of the herbs and chicken juices as it cooks. It’s a comforting, one-pan (well, one-foil) meal that requires minimal cleanup, making it perfect for outdoor adventures, beach trips, or easy weeknight dinners when you want something warm and satisfying without the fuss. The texture is tender and creamy, offering a nostalgic taste of outdoor cooking. Serve directly from the foil for a rustic dining experience that the whole family will enjoy.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your grill or prepare a campfire with hot coals.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the minute rice, can of cream of mushroom (or chicken) soup, and water. Stir until well blended.
  3. Cut the boneless chicken breasts into bite-sized strips or leave them whole if they fit easily in the foil packets.
  4. Lay out two 10x10 inch squares of heavy-duty foil for each serving, overlapping them to create a larger, double-layered square to prevent tearing.
  5. Divide the soup and rice mixture evenly among the foil squares, placing the mixture in the center.
  6. Top each portion of rice mixture with the chicken pieces.
  7. Season the chicken and rice with salt, pepper, and optional chopped onions or herbs for extra flavor.
  8. Bring the edges of the foil together over the filling and crimp tightly to seal, ensuring no steam can escape. Fold the edges under to create a secure packet.
  9. Place the sealed foil packets directly on the grill grate or in the campfire coals.
  10. Cook for approximately 15 to 20 minutes, flipping the packets halfway through the cooking time to ensure even heating.
  11. Remove from heat and let rest for 2-3 minutes before carefully opening the foil to avoid steam burns.
  12. Serve immediately directly from the foil packets.
