Dutch Oven Chicken Parm

Ingredients:

• 1 (16 ounce) package uncooked rotini pasta
• 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
• 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
• 2 cups flour
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 2 cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 1 (16 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 (32 ounce) jars marinara sauce
• Water
• 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Dutch oven briquettes

Directions:

1. Line the Dutch Oven with tin foil.  Remove the lining, you will replace this after you fry the chicken.
2. Heat oil in the Dutch Oven on a camp stove to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
3. Place the flour, egg, and bread crumbs in 3 separate bowls. Mix the garlic powder into the bread crumbs. Working in batches, coat the chicken breast in the flour, then dip them in the egg, and finally coat with the bread crumbs. Carefully fry the coated chicken in the hot oil in small batches until golden brown and no longer pink in the center, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain the fried chicken over paper towels.
4. Put the lining back in the Dutch Oven.
5. Combine the pasta, fried chicken, 1/2 package of mozzarella cheese, and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese in the Dutch Oven. Stir in the marinara sauce. Pour the vinegar into the empty marinara sauce jar; cover and shake the jar, and empty the contents into the bowl of pasta. Stir to combine.  Add 1 - 2 cans of water to the mixture, until there is enough for the pasta to cook through, mix well.
6. Cook with 8-10 briquettes on the bottom and 12 - 14 (about 350 degrees F) on top in the Dutch Oven for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 package of mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese. Return the lid, and continue baking until the cheese has melted, about 10 - 20 minutes. Remove from the briquettes, and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot.
