The Golden Isles

We made it to the Golden Isles of Georgia! We are camping out on Jekyll Island. We set up camp in the rain on Saturday night. Sunday was quite nice and we biked to the beach. After such an adventure, we needed some nourishment. So, I made some golden chicken curry packets that we cooked over the fire. I made this up in my head. It turned out great. You can easily recreate this at home on the grill or in the oven. I think I will!

I started out cutting up some potatoes, onion, and fresh green beans. I spread these on some aluminum foil doubled over and sprayed with cooking oil. Then I cut up some curry chicken tenders from Trader Joe's and added them to the mix. Last and oh so yummy ingredient-some golden raisins, for the golden isles. I gave them one last spray of oil, wrapped them up tightly, then again in another piece of foil, and on the fire they went. 

They were so yummy!!! The raisins gave just enough sweet to the spicy curry mix. I think that we cooked them about 45 minutes, but they probably were done in 30. It is hard to tell when cooking on the fire. Also of you don't have a Trader Joe's try marinating some chicken tenders in a curry blend. It should work fine. 
 
Try them at home and let me know what you think!

I'm a big fan of cooking with aluminum foil because I hate cleaning. I never would have thought to add the raisins. That was a great idea.
