    Chicken & Biscuits in the Dutch Oven Recipe
    1 pack of chicken tenders
    1 small onion chopped
    3 carrots chopped
    2 ribs of celery chopped
    2 small red potatoes chopped
    small can of green beans
    3 tbsp cornstarch
    1/4 cup milk
    1 tbsp better than boullion chicken
    quart of water
    salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, herbs de provence
    can of refrigerated biscuits
    Precooked chicken at home. Chopped up into small pieces and season.
    Add chopped up veggies to oil in a heated Dutch Oven
    Add water, eyeball it. I didn't use the entire quart.
    Add boullion
    Mix cornstarch and milk together until dissolved. Add slowly a little at a time until the gravy starts to thicken.
    Add chicken
    Cook until thicken and completely heated up.
    Add biscuits and cook until biscuits are browned.
    Keep turning the dutch oven a 1/4 of a turn many times through this process so this cooks evenly. Add whatever veggies you want. Add bacon, make it the way you like it. Enjoy! ~RVA~

    Hello Jacqueline! Fantastic Site! You seem to have eye for great sites! Nothing better than camping in the fall! Dutch oven cooking! Super yummy! Nothing screams fall like some Jack O lanterns! Looks like a wonderful fall weekend doing what you love!

    • @RVAHikerGirl
      @RVAHikerGirl  Před 2 lety +1

      I spend a ton of time researching campsites and campgrounds. I watch a ton of videos like yours, lol prior to booking. Dutch oven cooking is fun when the ground isn't wet. Charcoal cooks things fast normally, but wet conditions really increase the length of cooking time. I need to do my peach cobbler recipe on a video sometime soon too. That's my family recipe. There's nothing better than camping in the Fall, couldn't agree more. Thanks girls for watching. ~RVA~

      @@RVAHikerGirl Well your research pays off! It appears as though you NEVER get one of those sites that are beside the bath house unexpectedly or the site that has the party people next door! Those types of sites can completely alter the experience! Karen has been talking of cast iron cooking lately as well - so I am hoping she too is planning some of her southern cooking over the fire! A peach cobbler sounds AMAZING! Can't wait!

      I know right! I love camping right on the water with unobstructed views. I research a lot to seek out those kinds of spots. Oh I cook on cast iron at home and then just take my skillets out there with me. Except for that dutch oven. Thats an outdoor one since it has feet. An indoor one doesn't have feet. Its easy to cook on and the cast iron holds its heat really well. Thanks a bunch Lucy! Appreciate you stopping by and leaving a comment. ~RVA~

The view was pretty special as well, perfect place to chill out and relax and looked real snug in the tent, real roomy too. Loved the setting sun and you did a great job with the pumpkins and food but what a dam shame about the negative energy coming from your neighbours.

      CZcams is always eating my comments. 2nd try to respond LOL. I have never heard of that song but it sure sounds fitting. Ah yes, that campsite! I literally spend hours and hours compiling lists of where I want to go camping. I watch other people's videos to scout out site numbers that I want to stay in. R&R Fall weekend while my foot heals a bit. Thanks so much for your amazing support! ~RVA~

    Hello! ☺️ Thanks for the mention. Your water bottle looks adequately dressed 😃 my little camping table is now full of lovely stickers.
    I’m liking the autumn vibes during your videos intro. I just love it when the leafs turned from green to gold. Also, you’ve got good carving skills… I usually end up accidentally butchering my pumpkin 🎃 lol.
    Loved the location of your camp, can’t beat a lakeside view & beautiful sunrise. Sorry to hear you witnessed negative vibes from other campers.
    Thank you for sharing your journey. Take care. 😌

      Hey my UK friend! Great of you to stop by! Sticker love from all of my peeps, is amazing. Fall is probably the best it has been in years. The perfect weather conditions are in play right now. It's staying a bit warmer and the leaves are just incredible. Hopefully, my next video will show them looking perfect. ~RVA~

    A beautiful campsite 😍 I will forever be jealous of the dispersed camping style pitches you guys have over there. A few campsite owners in the UK are catching on slowly, but it's still a real rarity overhere. The food looked amazing, i definitely need to get a Dutch oven.

      Appreciate it Aggy Goes Outdoors! In the US there are so many National, State Parks, and Recreational Areas to camp at. The National Forests offer free dispersed camping locations and of course on long trails such as the Appalachian Trail you can camp at the shelters and or along the trail as long as proper rules are followed with being a certain distance from the trail, water sources etc...There are also private campgrounds and property owners that use HipCamp etc and allow people to camp on their property for a small fee. It's true there are so many various choices for camping. I do feel very fortunate. I have so many dutch oven recipes. Cast iron is such a great way to cook! I hope to show my peach cobbler in a dutch oven on an upcoming episode. ~RVA~
