Make It Now Cooking Directions

These directions are for cooking this recipe to serve immediately and NOT to freeze for later.

Visit Art of Manliness for same day cooking instructions.

Freeze For Later Cooking Directions

These directions help you cook or prepare this meal PRIOR to being frozen for serving later (see Serving Day Directions when you are ready to prepare it to eat).

Why would I want to freeze this?

  1. Cut a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil (about one square foot) for each serving.
  2. Using a mallet, pound out chicken breast until 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick (this will help it cook faster.)
  3. Divide chicken onto foil sheets and season with salt and pepper. Then, sprinkle each with 1/4 cup shredded cheese.
  4. In a large bowl, combine broccoli, cooked rice, cream of chicken soup, and ranch.
  5. Divide into foil sheets on top of chicken.
  6. Pull two ends of the packet together and roll down, leaving a small amount of space for expansion. Then roll the remaining two sides toward the center to seal.
  7. Place packets inside gallon freezer bags, label, and lay flat to freeze.

Make From Frozen Serving Day Directions

These directions help you cook or reheat this meal AFTER it's been frozen for when you are ready to eat it.

  1. Thaw: In fridge
  2. Pack in a cooler.
  3. Depending on how long they have been in the cooler, you may need to thaw for an hour or so before cooking. Use good judgement and do not leave meat out too long in high temperatures.
  4. At the campsite, let your fire burn down to a hot bed of coals (a little flame is ok). Place packets directly on top of coals using tongs.
  5. Cook, turning once or twice, for 25-30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
  6. Remove with tongs, and serve in packets. Be careful of steam being released when you open the packet.
