How to Roast Chicken and Vegetables While Camping

This simple Dutch Oven Chicken Breast recipe goes together quickly.

1. prepare charcoal for the Dutch oven
2. chop the vegetables
3. dump in all the ingredients and add spices
4. bake

Dutch Oven Baking Prep

Like all Dutch Oven Camping Recipes, you need to prepare charcoal. We use a charcoal chimney to prep the coals for our Dutch oven.

Recipe Instructions

While the charcoal is prepping, start chopping! We start with the vegetables that will take the longest to cook and place them in the bottom of the Dutch oven as they are chopped.

Our first vegetable was carrots, which did not need chopping because we used packaged baby carrots. Next, we chopped the sweet potato and layered it on top of the carrots.

We added some spices on top of the root veggies. We sprinkled on onion flake, garlic powder, salt & pepper. Real onions can be used instead of dried minced onion.

Then we dumped the pre-sliced mushrooms on top of the carrots and sweet potatoes and added a 1/4 cup of water. The water keeps everything nice and moist!

Lay the chicken thighs out on top of the veggies. Finally, generously shake garlic powder, pepper, and seasoning salt on top.

Put the lid on the Dutch oven and bake. Place over a small circle of 6-8 hot coals. Spread 10-12 pieces of coals on the lid of the pot. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes or until everything is thoroughly baked.

Recipe Tips

Can I use any type of chicken in this recipe?
We use skinless and boneless thighs or breasts, but skin-on chicken pieces would also work. A small whole chicken can be used in the middle of the Dutch oven with the vegetables surrounding it. Extend the cooking time for a whole bird.

How do I adjust the recipe to bake at home?
The recipe can be made in your camping Dutch oven in your oven or on the grill. We oven bake it in an enamel-covered Dutch oven pot with the lid on at 350° for an hour.

We love this recipe!

This Dutch oven chicken thighs and vegetables recipe surpassed our Campfire Roasted Chicken as our favorite oven-roasted chicken with vegetables recipe. You really cannot mess it up!

We will definitely be making this chicken vegetable recipe on every camping trip from now on. We will probablymake it with the same exact veggies each time.

It is so simplebut so good. We need to try this dutch oven dinner at home.

update: We made thisbaked chicken and vegetables in the oven at home at it was pretty good!

I would not recommend making it in any other cookware because the cast-iron Dutch oven really adds to the flavor.
