Cultus Lake, Oregon

Friends, this past weekend we camped with our some of our best friends at Cultus Lake, here in central Oregon, a 40-minute drive from our house.

What a beautiful place to go in the mountains, to cool off, and spend a few days with great friends!

Our kids came up for dinner one night, and we enjoyed Skinnytaste’s Turkey Feta Burgers (so good), sat around the fire, and enjoyed the beautiful sunset.

We have so much to be thankful for, living in Oregon. There’s so much beauty–everywhere!

Cascade Lakes in Oregon

Cultus Lake is one of the most popular of the high Cascade Lakes, because it is one of the few that allows high speed motorized watercraft. You can also bring your kayak or paddle board!

Caprese Chicken Foil Packs

This campground offers water opportunities on the lake, large campsites (55), as well as access to trails that lead north into the Three Sisters Wilderness.

Caprese Chicken Foil Packs

On Saturday we hiked 9 miles, we got to our destination, and enjoyed lunch and cooling off in the water.

Most of the sites are well shaded, a great place to cool off during the heat, and not far from Cultus Lake Resort.

At the resort you can eat a fine meal, sit out on the back patio and enjoy the view.

More Lake posts? Abby at Crater Lake, hiking in to Puck Lake, enjoying the beauty of Lucky Lake, nighttime canoeing on Sparks Lake with the family, and my favorite (not a lake, but a lovely trip … Yosemite!

Ingredients
 

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, 6 oz each
  • 1/4 cup basil pesto, we buy Costco’s pesto
  • 8 oz sliced fresh mozzarella cheese
  • 2 large plum, Roma tomatoes, cut into 4 slices each, halved
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • Fresh basil leaves, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Cut 4 large sheets of heavy-duty foil. Spray sides with cooking spray.
  • In the chicken breasts, cut 4 crosswise slits about 3/4-inch apart, carefully cutting almost to bottom of chicken breast, but not all the way through. Place each chicken breast on a piece of foil.
  • Spoon 1 teaspoon pesto into each slit in chicken breast. Place 1 mozzarella slice and 1/2 tomato slice in each slit. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper.
  • Bring up 2 sides of foil, sealing the edges; do the same on the other side, making a sealed packet.
  • Place packs on grill over medium heat. Cover the grill; cook 10 minutes. Rotate packs 1/2 turn; cooking 9 to 10 minutes longer. Check to see that chicken is done in the center.
  • Carefully fold back the foil; garnish with fresh basil and serve!
