Chicken/Quick & Easy/Hobo Dinners

Hobo Dinner

Ingredients:

Several chicken legs (or you can use other cuts, boneless, beef or pretty much any kind of meat or go meatless, if you are vegetarian)

Raw veggies, like carrots, broccoli, onion, potatos, green beans, cob corn (break in half)

Seasoned salt

Pepper

Garlic powder

Large squares of Aluminum foil



Procedure:

Preheat oven to 375 degress

Cut veggies into large, bite size pieces.

Have the squares of foil ready (I put one on top of the other)

On the first foil square, add one of two chicken legs, corn cob half, and some of the veggies (All the veggies you have chosen to use)

Sprinkle with seasoned salt, pepper and garlic, to taste.

Fold the foil over to make a pouch and seal it closed. Repeat until you made several pouches.
Do this until you have used all of your ingredients. If you run out of meat, just make veggie pouches for those who want extra veggies.

Place pouches on a cookie sheet or any type of baking pan that works. One layer only.

Bake at 375 degrees for approx 60-90 minutes (until meat and veggies are done and tender.

I always forget to time it, so I just just cook them after an hour.

When they are done, you can eat it right out of the foil pouch or pour it onto a plate.

Amount of servings depends n how many pouches you make.


This is a super meal that is easy, relatively cheap and nutritious.
Note* I prefer to use heavy duty foil because it holds up better when trying to close the pouches before baking. Thin foil tends to tear, but can still be used if that's all you have. Just be gentler and don't fill it too much.
