Description

Not fast food. Good food, quickly.

Just because you smell like a monkey after three days on trail doesn't mean you have to eat like one. Mountain House's Freeze Dried Rice and Chicken meal for one is light, easy to make, and best of all, tastes great. It comes in a foil package that stands up on its own for easy eatin' and cookin'.

I agree with Matthew, this meal had no taste. I was really excited about this meal because I love chicken and rice, but I have never been so disappointed. I might as well have been eating warm cardboard. I added some Tonys and pepper which did help, but I still would never buy this meal again. Albeit bland, this meal did fill me up. Nevertheless, there are better Mountain House meals out there.

pretty bland, but a little travel Cholula can change that. Not one of my favs (see beef strog., beef stew, chicken teriyaki)

This was the first mtn house I tried and was impressed completely with it until I tried the others. While this is still good it's not as great as some of the others

I've always liked this meal. One of the original MH line-up. It's both filling & tasty. Plenty of carbs & protein. Mix well & allow to rehydrate an extra three to five minutes. Make it even better by adding some crushed red pepper. This two serving size by itself is just right for one hungry person. Prepare a side dish & that will feed two people.

Another fantastic meal from Mountain House. This is a great break from the pasta. Very filling, and this one will feed two people. I wouldn't be surprised if the wife tried to push this one off as dinner at home.

Yeah, chicken and rice. Hard to goof these two up. Reminded me a bit of those Soup-in-a-Cup meals only way bigger and more filling. It was the best meal of our three day trip. I cheated a bit though, through in some Cholula hot sauce. Let it stand a bit longer than recommended for best results!

My first experience with Mountain House products was on a week long backpacking trip to the Grewingk Glacier, across Kachemak Bay from Homer, Alaska. We caught a water taxi, got dropped on the beach and started a great adventure that involved a black bear, a distant brown bear, a small forest worth of deadfall, treacherous and unwarranted river crossings, a heavy tram with a 1:1 "mechanical advantage" and enough postholing to satisfy anyone.

Needless to say we were extremely hungry at the end of each day. My wife was four months pregnant, which left her eating for two amd me carrying a little extra gear and burning a few extra kcals. My brother-in-law was in his early 20s, which is like eating for eating for two.

We carefully planned our trip, filled our "pantry" and mistakenly assumed that 2 servings was, well, 2 servings. As in: Serves 2. By day 2 we recognized our gross underestimation and by day 4 we were running low on provisions, namely hot entrees. On day 5 we rationed our supplies and settled for a bit hungry. Our saving grace was a hypoglycemic, overland journey to the beach to gather mussels to supplement. They never tasted so good!

The point: While tasty, these will barely satify ONE hungry person, noting that 800kcal if only a fraction of what is burned for most. Since, we always plan our provisioning based on total calories and have had no issues since!

Taste great and very filling. Mountain House meets the single mans' need for cooking.

Sure, ramen will do the trick, but it's just not the same as a large package of rice and chicken. There's less clean up, and more food. The two servings were only enough for me, but others say they can't eat it all by themselves. Just boil up some water really quickly and dump it in. The key is to let it soak for a lot longer than it says you should. Open it up every 3 or 4 minutes or so, and stir everything up to make sure things aren't sitting too much out of the water. Just let it sit and go pitch your tent or collect firewood. Just be sure to pack out the pouch when you leave!

this is it! i tried a new mountain house, AGAIN a couple of days ago on a solo wilderness thing. chicken and rice. first of all, at this point i prefer mountain house. i usually jetboil h2o, mix, seal the meal and let it do its thing for at least ten minutes while i keep myself busy. i like mountain house bags because they stand up really well and they seal and reseal. i often rinse and reuse those sturdy little bags over and over to be efficient on the trail! that is important to me because i reuse the bag in the morning for my instant oatmeal. that is, unless i don't finish dinner and i just have chicken and rice for breakfast like i did a couple of days ago.

any way, the chicken and rice was good. at first the chicken floated to the top so i had to stir that in. the first couple of chicken bits were not totally hydrated, to be expected at times. the rice and stuff cooked very well. the meal tasted good hot for dinner. the next morning the meal retained taste and texture. it was fine, just cold. i was very happy it didn't turn into a nasty gooey chunk overnight.

mountain house chicken and rice is good.

It was lacking flavor and some of the chicken pieces were not so good looking...Not my type of meal :-/

This meal was very filling and refreshing. After a day of hiking sitting down and eat some warm chicken and rice was the best thing. You need to make sure you let it sit long enough to let all of the rice cook. The first time we opened it, the rice was not all the way done. All in all, a good meal.

Got this for an extended camping trip. Really liked this one. Flavor was great, and meal was filling and satisfying. I really am happy with the improved taste that Mountain House has obviously been working on in their meals.

Isn't the heavy sodium content inside of these mountain house meals for that which you lose while hiking. I agree eating these things as a normal meal is most likely disgusting, but when I'm backpacking you need to replenish those things. On a side note, the 1840 mg of sodium is under what the mayo clinic recommends for daily consumption and this is a 2 serving bag. All this being said, I'd rather have something fresh, but on the trail these things are good enough.
