      Comments about Mountain House Rice and Chicken Pro Pack - Single Serving:

      The other reviews on this product are a bit unjustly critical, it seems to me. The chicken chunks are small, and there is a lot of sodium, but high salt content is fine when you're trying to stay hydrated. The flavor is good, and if you add a touch of tabasco or ground red pepper (always carry one of these!), it's a very tasty meal. And like all the Pro Pack line, it's very filling and keeps you going on tough trails.

        this is my favorite mountain house meal. it is important to note that it is mostly rice, but it doesnt claim to have large chicken breasts. all of these meals have lots of salt (necessary for preservatives). i think the taste is great so give it a try

            Comments about Mountain House Rice and Chicken Pro Pack - Single Serving:

            We found this meal quite tasty, and the pro packs are a good amount of food and pack well. Adding extra water and letting the meal "sit" longer than the instructions called for was helpful. The meal started out very hot (it helped to have a bandana to use to insulate our hands from the hot package), and stayed warm almost to the end -- we were eating in temperatures in the mid 50's. We added a bit of olive oil to improve the flavor and add calories.

              This is a reasonable tasting backpacking food. It is a regular for me. Be sure to add the full amount of water or a little more. Must stir the corners to be sure you do not get hard rice. Don't short the soak time. The zip seal is not great be careful if you squeeze to stir.

              Simply horrible. When they say RICE and chicken they mean a whole lot of RICE and a couple of bits of mystery chicken stuff.

              As stated before - this was loaded with sodium which did nothing for the taste.

                This was pretty good, but it's really just rice with lots of chicken broth and a few bits of chicken. It was really filling and kept me full through the evening (I did also have a s'more though). Pretty yummy!

                    Ugh! My first meal made in my new JetBoil stove. Thought it would be great by its delicious smell and taste! Instead, it made me sick...literally! Being completely serious, I'll put it this way: you'll want to be near the facilities for a while. Luckily I cooked this at home BEFORE I went backpacking as a test for my new stove! Purchase anything else from Mountain House and you'll love it! Just not the rice. You'll thank me.

                    Nice packaging, simple preparation, & the Pro-Pak stores easily especially if you're packing in a lot of food. On the downside it's loaded with sodium, in fact almost the entire RDA/RDI in one meal. This is unnecessary to improve taste which didn't help anyway. Filling @ best.
