My husband is a patient man.
For the past three years he’s supported my endless hours of work on this blog, so when the Fairy Hobmother paid a visit to offer me an Amazon gift card, I knew who really deserved that card . . .
Mike - the avid fisherman and camp cook.
Mike is a pro when it comes to setting up camp. He has tables for eating, tables for cooking, cooking equipment and an abundance of food organized and ready to go.
Funny how that organization doesn’t translate to the garage and his office, but I digress.
Mike’s New Camp Stove
The only thing missing from Mike’s setup was the perfect camp stove. He had Grandma Karen’s old barbeque and an odd assortment of burners. What he really needed was something that didn’t take up room in the camper, with loads of versatility.
As soon as the Fairy Hobmother sent me my Amazon card, I promptly set my husband on a shopping quest for the camp stove of his dreams.
Mike’s New Camp Stove
With an impending fishing trip in a few weeks to the Hoh River in Washington state, we wanted to practice with his new setup before the big day.
A simple skillet of chicken breasts and yams seemed like the perfect place to start, and were about all we had left in the frig for the week.
Mike’s Camping Chicken and Yams
Thank you Fairy Hobmother! You made my husband a very happy man, and his wife didn’t have to cook dinner either.
That’s what I call a real treat!
Mike’s Camping Chicken and Yams
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
- 4 teaspoons chicken seasoning blend
- 4 cups yams, peeled and cut into large chunks
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons thyme, minced
Instructions
- Prior to leaving for camping, cut up the yams into large chunks and microwave them for 5 minutes to blanch them so they will cook in the same amount of time as the chicken breasts.
- Sprinkle chicken and yams with seasoning blend and thyme.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over a medium flame until the pan is hot. Add olive oil and sear chicken for 3 - 5 minutes each side until nicely browned. Remove from skillet and add 1/4 cup water to the skillet and the yams. Top yams with chicken and cover skillet with foil.
- Turn flame down to medium-low and cook chicken and yams for approximately 25 - 30 minutes until chicken is no longer pink in the middle and yams are tender.

My husband’s a happy camper and can’t wait to use his new stove on the river.
Oh Kristi, so sweet of you giving him the giftcard…nothing like making him happy and not having to cook dinner
Love it!
Hope you are having a wonderful week!
He’s a good guy and surely deserved a treat. It was so much fun to make him happy.
I’m loving the recipe! I especially love that it was made on the campfire stove top. I miss camping. I used to go camping all the time as a child, but couldn’t tell you the last time I Went. I keep telling Nick we HAVE to go camping! Maybe this year will be the year.

I don’t go camping as often as he does, but get out at least twice a year. It’s so peaceful and relaxing. Especially because he does all the work.
Well, lucky him and lucky you for the great meal and for not having to cook, very important!
