I made this chicken dish last summer while camping and my friends requested it again for this camp out.
I started my cubed potatoes in salted water....
Sauteed some green and yellow onions with minced garlic in a bit of butter......
Grilled some chicken and bacon wrapped corn......
Added half of my sauteed onions and garlic to my drained, tender potatoes....
Made my sauce...
added capers, lemon juice, butter and sherry to the sauteed onions and garlic....
Smashed the potatoes with a bit of milk, butter, salt and pepper....
Placed my grilled chicken into the skillet of sauce....
The chicken piccata, garlic smashed potatoes, cucumber salad and watermelon...
The pictures aren't the best, but I never know if they are going to come out at all when camping. lol
The food tasted good so I guess that's what counts. :)

I think I drool all over my desk. LOL!
LOL! Thanks YD, I'm glad you liked the pics. :)
Ok that's it. No more llooking at your blog before lunch. I get so hungry I eat everything in sight.
Hey a fiend of mine just filled me in on a cajun microwave (or as he calls it back home, a coonass microwave). Being the outdoor chef that you are I thought I would get your two cents worth.
Thanks I love reading your blog.

LOL Thank you Wayne!
I'm familiar with the cajun cookers...From what I hear, they do a great job of cooking, but do not add the smoke flavor that pits, open fires or smokers do.
The heat is on the outside of the box so no smokey flavor gets to the food. It's more like oven cooking.
The meat is juicy and tender though.
I'm really fond of fire roasted or smoked meat, and actually feel guilty when I wrap something in foil..(like the beef ribs I did while camping).
I guess it's just a matter of preference.
Maybe they will come up with a way to add wood chips or something inside the cooker...that might sell me on one. :)
Thank you for the post Wayne and Thank you for reading my blog, I appreciate that!!

Thank you Gene! I make this at home a lot... but the chicken is not grilled it's coated in flour and fried. Has a nice crust on it.
But.... the grilled version isn't bad. :)
Hope you are having good weather up there!
Look,,,if you are going to keep torturing me like this - you'll just have to make us a care package. I dub thee "Outdoor Queen of Cooking."
lol Mrs JP! Thank you! :)
I have never made picatta on a dutch oven but ready to try it now. You rock at campfire cooking. I've just got my first cowboy dutch oven this year and have been having fun with it. You give me some great ideas.
As always you rock the boat with your tantalizing campfire delicacies.
