Dutch Oven Chicken Jumble
- 4 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 8 whole Carrots
- 8 whole Potatoes
- 2 Tablespoons Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Salt
- 1 Tablespoon Ground Black Pepper
- 8 slices Thick Cut Bacon
- 1 whole Large Sweet Onion
- 2 cups Shredded Cheese, divided
- If you are cooking this outside in a Dutch oven, you will want to start your coals about 10 minutes before you begin your prep.
- Since this dish has bacon and cheese in it, you will want to line your Dutch oven with tin foil to aid in cleanup.
- If you are doing it inside, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
- Cut chicken into cubes and place in a mixing bowl.
- Peel and slice the carrots into 1/2 pieces and add to the chicken.
- Peel potatoes and cut into large cubes; add to the chicken and carrots.
- Pour in oil and toss the mixture.
- Add salt and pepper to mixture and toss again.
- Once the coals are ready, place the Dutch oven on them and lay the bacon in the bottom to cook.
- If you are doing this inside, place a large, heavy baking dish or Dutch oven on a burner over medium heat.
- While the bacon is cooking, peel and slice onions.
- Once bacon is crisp, remove the strips to a paper towel to drain and add the sliced onions to the bacon fat.
- Saute until they are translucent and soft.
- While the onions are cooking, rough chop the bacon and add it to the mixing bowl.
- Add the onions when they are done, stir and pour the entire mixture into the Dutch oven.
- Cover the Dutch oven and add coals to the lid, allow to cook for 45 minutes.
- If you are doing this in an oven, cover the baking dish with a lid or tinfoil and allow to bake for 45 minutes.
- At the 45-minute mark, remove from the heat and uncover.
- Add half of the cheese and stir.
- Sprinkle the remaining half of the cheese on the top and replace the pan lid/cover/tinfoil and return to the coals/oven for another 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat, uncover and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
