Chicken and Morel Camp Dish

Pump up the camp stove and light the burner!

Heat a Dutch oven over your camp stove, adding the butter or oil.  Add the onions and garlic, or ramps if you're lucky enough to have some. Sauté until softened.

Add the chicken pieces. Brown and season with salt and pepper.  Add the mushrooms and stir.   Add the rice and stir well to coat with oil. Add the herbs and liquid. Bring to a simmer and cover tightly.

Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking at a simmer for about 40 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and all the liquid is absorbed by the rice.
