Tequila Lime Chicken, Savory Ranch Red Potato Packets

Hi everyone!

Tomorrow we are heading out for our first camping trip of the summer. I'm very excited! For our first night there I am going to make Tequila Lime Chicken. This is a great recipe for camping because I can put it in a Ziplog bag to marinade at home and all I need to bring is the bag of chicken. So easy, no fuss! I'm also doing Red Potato Packets. These are great for camping because you throw them on the grill. I'm going to assemble the packets before we leave home and again, so simple, I'll just throw them on the grill.

Tequila Lime Chicken
Amy - amylz
Barefoot Contessa

1/2 cup gold tequila
1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (5 to 6 limes)
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (2 oranges)
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon minced fresh jalapeno pepper (1 pepper seeded)
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic (3 cloves)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 whole (6 split) boneless chicken breasts, skin on

Combine the tequila, lime juice, orange juice, chili powder, jalapeno pepper, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken breasts. Refrigerate overnight. Heat a grill with coals and brush the rack with oil to prevent the chicken from sticking. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, sprinkle well with salt and pepper, and grill them skin-side down for about 5 minutes, until nicely browned. Turn the chicken and cook for another 10 minutes, until just cooked through. Remove from the grill to a plate. Cover tightly and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Savory Ranch Red Potato Packets:
(Jessica)

1 lb (about 4-6 medium & large) Red Potatoes
1 small (about 1/2 cup) Vidalia onion
1 cup Lite Ranch salad dressing
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder (or 2 cloves finely chopped fresh garlic)
1 cup part skim shredded mozzarella (or favorite melting cheese)

*Slice potatoes into 1/4-1/3 inch thick "coins" then cut into quarters. Move to a medium mixing bowl. *Coarsely chop the onion, then add to the potato bowl & combine. *In a small mixing bowl, combine all remaining ingredients except cheese & blend well. *Toss potatoes & onions with the Ranch mixture until all is evenly coated. *Add shredded cheese and blend until all is evenly distributed. *Divide mixture in half, putting half in one foil packet and half in another foil packet. *Grill (or bake at 400º) for 30 minutes, or just until potatoes are desired tenderness. *Makes about 4-6 servings.
