If you’d rather prepare a meal in advance and just warm it up at the campsite, then this recipe for Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo is perfect.  We went camping over my husband’s birthday, and I really wanted a special meal, something different from our usual camping fare.  So I took an easy, but favorite, meal to surprise him.

I cooked everything before we left, but kept it all separate.  Chicken in one bag, pasta & broccoli in another bag, and the homemade sauce in a third bag.  I know, it’s a lot of bags, but I wasn’t sure it would taste the same if it was all mixed together, and I didn’t want the pasta to be mushy.  At the campsite, I put them all in the pan and warmed them up together.  I also took a small loaf of focaccia bread and toasted it over the fire.  Delish.

Notes

*You can use any kind of pasta. *Serve with a side of focaccia bread for an extra treat. *Recipe adapted from Campbell's Kitchen.

**A big note: I’m not a chef or even a great cook.  I find recipes and adapt them to camping, but every campfire is different.  If you think you have a better way of doing something, do it!  After all, camping with kids is allllll about adapting and being flexible!
