- Add the rinsed lentils, coconut milk, and diced tomatoes to the pot. Stir well to combine.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and allow it to simmer for about 25-30 minutes, until the lentils are tender. You can add a bit of water if the curry seems too thick.

Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your campfire or grill to medium heat.

- Divide the bell peppers, onion, and zucchini evenly between the two foil packets, arranging them around the chicken.
- Drizzle each packet with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Fold the foil over the chicken and vegetables, sealing it to create a packet.
