        Comments about Backpacker's Pantry Risotto with Chicken - 2 Servings:

        During week-long adventures we experiment with different dinner-time meals. Many other meals required additional flavoring or more protein. Risotto w/ Chicken required no additives. The chicken did not have the typical cardboard taste as found in other dinners.

          Comments about Backpacker's Pantry Risotto with Chicken - 2 Servings:

          In order to conserve water at Burning Man, my son and I decided to try this one. Plenty of food for the two of us. We both enjoyed the meal, although my son added a bit too much water so it was a little runny. (Can't blame the company for that).

          No clean up and we recycled the bag. We both thought it tasted great.

          I was a bit disappointed with this meal. The overall flavor was very processed. It was one of the few meals that my son and I could not finish while on our backpacking trip.

            Comments about Backpacker's Pantry Risotto with Chicken - 2 Servings:

            I took this out on a recent Day Hike for lunch and much to my surprise this is one of the best backpacking meals I have ever eaten and I have eaten quite a few. This is coming from some one who likes to cook and eats these daily a couple months out of the year so this is a true recommendation. It takes and extra 2-3 min of cooking to get the risotto tender, but wow was I surprised. That is the only issue with this meal.
