Comments about Mountain House Rice and Chicken - 2 Servings:

Tastes great, but skimped out on chicken portions. You end up with nearly a cup of rice solo.

Comments about Mountain House Rice and Chicken - 2 Servings:

I love Chicken Teriyaki with Rice and thought that I would give Rice and chicken a try. I thought that it was too salty and that made it hard for me to eat.

Comments about Mountain House Rice and Chicken - 2 Servings:

It's definitely Rice and Chicken, not Chicken and Rice. This was our first freeze dried dinner and we were amazed at the taste. We'd had lunch earlier at the lodge at Mt. Charleston and were really disappointed that we ate there instead of having this! We could've bought five of these and eaten much better!

This is my favorite Mountain House Meal. I think it has a great flavor and if you cook it right the chicken is decently tender. Would definitely recommend.

Chicken *favored* RICE

Lacks Flavor

Best Uses

Comments about Mountain House Rice and Chicken - 2 Servings:

I've eaten many Mountain House meals and this one is terrible. Imagine cheap chicken and rice soup. Then add a lot more rice. Then remove some of the water. Voila, you have this meal.

It's basically 95% rice, with those small pieces of chicken that float around all too infrequently. Even the taste is pretty dull.

Comments about Mountain House Rice and Chicken - 2 Servings:

This is one of the better Mountain House meals. It might be a bit to salty for some people. But all in all it is a pretty safe bet for backpacking trips. One thing to note is that this is Rice and Chicken not Chicken and Rice: it is mostly Rice with some small chicken bits hear and there.

This dish was really quite good. It tasted like rice a roni with chunks of chicken. I was easy to eat with a spork and didn't need any spicing up. I will be buying this dish again.

Portion more than adequate for two female backpackers. Has great flavor and chicken is tender (though not that much of) and we all really enjoyed it. Chicken and rice dishes are always one of our favorites when backpacking.

Comments about Mountain House Rice and Chicken - 2 Servings:

Many of the other reviews are spot on. What I found to be most disappointing was the near lack of chicken. It's pretty much a giant mound of flavored rice with a few unassuming specks of chicken thrown in. On a positive note, at least the rice is tasty.

I would recommend passing on this one and going with some favorites such as the Beef Stroganoff, which has good portions of beef, and the Pasta Primavera. Happy eating.
