  • Love Mountain House.
Style: Pouch
Always very pleased !

  • Good meal.
Style: Pouch
Had to add a little extra water than directions. Had it sit a minute past recommended time and chicken was crunchy. Was stirred but maybe some got caught in the corners of the bad. Recommend letting it sit an extra two minutes or more after second stir.

  • Great flavor
Style: 6-pack
Easy to make and forgiving if you use a little more water (let it sit longer). Flavor was so good, the kids wanted it for dinner at home.

  • Winner winner, chicken dinner
Style: #10 Can
Admit it, you’re reading this because 2020 sucks and you are warming up to the idea of prepping. Don’t worry, we know you don’t live in a bunker, you just want to have some emergency food on hand. It’s cool, no one is judging you. Mountain House chicken and rice is pretty much the gold standard of freeze dried food. Between this and their Chili Mac, you can’t go wrong. The flavor is good and the portions are about right for normal (seriously normal) servings. If you are new to freeze dried food, get a single serving a try it before buying a number 10 can of it. If you already know you like the flavor, carry on, get the big can. It’s much more affordable than buying the individual packages. The cans stack well and usually offer, realistically 8 servings per can. Count on 4 meals for 2 people per can. Just remember, this is freeze dried food. If you are used to large meals, this may be an adjustment for you. It’s also important to know how much sodium is in this stuff. It’s good for emergencies or for camping for a couple of days but it’s definitely not health food and the sodium content, not just salt but preservative sodium, is high. 730mg per cup (1 serving) for the chicken and rice. It is gluten free which is good, just make sure to read the labels and know your dietary needs when planning for emergencies. Overall Mountain House is good emergency food. Definitely better flavor than MREs and with a 25 year shelf life, it’s good to set a few cans aside for that unforeseen flood, snowstorm, global pandemic, whatever. ... show more

  • Surprisingly good flavor!
Style: Pouch
I had very low expectations because it just the name seemed so plain. Not a lot of video reviews on this one. Was surprised it had nice flavor, plenty to eat, and overall not to bad. Definitely need to add a slight bit more water to this one to make it perfect.

  • 30yr shelf life is a HUGE savings so I don't have to replace my emergecy food every 3-10 years.
Style: #10 Can
I haven't tried a huge assortment of camping/emergency food in the last 20yrs but this is far better than anything I've had so far. It is better than frozen dinner quality, and is almost on par with average diner food which is amazing since it is freeze dried and has a shelf life of 30 years! I bought 2 items from each of the 5 the top brands of emergency food to try out because I need to restock my emergency supplies soon since my current batch of food expires this year, and this is the best out of the 5 top brands of emergency food, and far better than anything made 10yrs ago which is what I'm replacing. I'll buy 10 of these and 10 Beef Stroganoff now, then buy 1 more of both every year rotating my supply by eating 1 of the oldest cans of each while replacing it with a new can each year so none of my stock will be older than 10yrs, giving me a minimum of 20yrs of remaining shelf life at all times! ... show more

  • All your day's salt in one meal!
Style: #10 Can
A big container of a good meal with solid chicken flavor, but when doing individual servings, use half the recommended water to start and add more as needed...unless you like chicken and rice soup! I had this in the summer and felt like it would be 7x better in the winter or when the evening temperature is below 60°F. The hot sodium mash had me sweatin'! The chunks of chicken were meaty and while definitely a bit spongy, were still satisfying out on the trail. The seasoning powder is wildly salty but that's to be expected with meals like this. I rationed out servings into 1-cup snack portioned bags the day before a long hike, and the food remained edible and surprisingly dry for an entire week, even with crazy amount of rain. Clean up is easy even with the oily sheen scattered with spices left in your eating vessel. A hot water bath and a wipe is all you need. ... show more
