Posted on June 28, 2026June 7, 2026 by simplegoodfood

Nothing says campground comfort food quite like a hearty chicken and rice dinner cooked over the campfire. This Campfire Chicken & Rice Bake combines tender chicken, fluffy rice, vegetables, and a creamy sauce into a satisfying one-pot meal that’s perfect for camping weekends, RV adventures, or backyard campfires. Best of all, everything cooks together in a Dutch oven, making cleanup easy and leaving more time to enjoy the outdoors.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion diced
1 cup carrots diced
1 cup celery diced
2 cloves garlic minced
1½ cups long-grain rice uncooked
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 can 10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon paprika
1 cup frozen peas

Method

Heat a large Dutch oven, deep skillet, or stockpot over medium heat.
Add the chicken and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5–6 minutes.
Stir in the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook for 3–4 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
Add the uncooked rice, chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, and seasonings. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20–25 minutes, stirring once or twice during cooking, until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top. Cover again for 2–3 minutes until melted.
Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Campground Cooking Note

If using instant rice, reduce the broth by about ½ cup and cook according to the rice package directions. If using a portable camp stove that runs hot, stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
