Soooo good!
This was the very first time I have eaten any of the freeze dried foods. I was blown away by how tasty the chicken and dumplings were. It was definitely comfort food for me! I read some reviews that it was a bit “soupy” so I put a little less water (300ml), because I like it thicker, and it was perfect. I ate 2/3 of it even though it says it’s two servings. 🤤I would highly recommend this meal if you want something good and filling.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very tasty

I thought this tasted really good. Per the directions, I poured BOILING water into the pouch, stirred and let it sit for 5 minutes. Then stirred again and let it sit for more than 5 minutes. After all that time it's still piping hot and delicious with nice creamy texture. Surprising. The science on this stuff has gotten really good.
I would say good for camping/hiking as long as you have a way to boil potable water. But I bought these to have on hand at the house for regular meals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must add boiling water, not from microwave
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2024

It tasted and looked like chicken pot pie without crust topping. In a kitchen, I would have just added a little salt---but I would eat it again without the salt. I first used microwave to heat water, which I think is not always consistently hot if are trying to avoid a water explosion. Using stove top is best because there was a little crunch from not rehydrating. However, it actually added a little texture. It was a great meal.

Very easy to make. Remember to pull out the oxygen absorber first. Add your hot water and zip the lid closed. It will cook faster if you use an insulated pouch. More than enough for one person but maybe not enough for 2 people.

4.0 out of 5 stars Go-to for multi day kayak trips!
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2023
Verified Purchase
I have tried several different brands of dehydrated meals because I go on multi day hiking/kayaking trips through out the year and need something filling, light weight and easy to cook. By far Mountain house wins in taste/convenience. Chicken and Dumplings is my favorite dinner! (Just add water) The quality of ingredients and the lack of additives/preservatives makes this my favorite brand. The dumplings are a little doughy but I can't even get mad at that because that happens when I cook them from scratch as well! My only complaint and the only reason I can not give them a 5 star review is because the cost. Yes it is 2 servings, but when you physically exert yourself in hiking or kayaking you need 2 servings worth of calories. If I don't catch these on sale, I will not buy. Only other minor inconvenience is in order to pack them flat you have to open them/break the seal and shift around the food. Although not a deal breaker, it just sucks if they reopen on the trip, because you could lose a whole meal (I did not deduct any stars for this)

This is probably one of the better meals from mountain house. It has a very good texture and flavor. I have tried several brands and a lot of them are too salty for me. The flavors for this one are on point. I bought them on sale and will buy more when they go on sale again. There is definitely enough for 2 meals I could not eat the whole thing in one sitting.

3.0 out of 5 stars Expensive but long shelf life for preppers and light weight for backpackers
Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2024

I haven't had freeze dried food since my backpacking days in another life back in the 70s so I got this to see how it tastes now.

Back then I seem to remember freeze dried foods being packaged in plastic bags that didn't really keep them fresh. This meal is packed in a heavy aluminum foil envelope with an internal zipper to use while rehydrating it and is packaged with a sachet of some kind of oxygen absorber. My absorber sachet was very solid indicating it had absorbed as much oxygen as it could. There was no indication of loss if integrity of the foil envelope. The meal tasted fresh. I bought it at the end of 2023, it appears to have been packaged in 2023, and had a best by date of June 2053.

All of the ingredients maintained their individual flavors and the meal tasted good.

The envelope contained two servings and I ate them both as I would have when solo backpacking. There was a bit more bulk there than I needed but a single serving probably would not have been enough, and all I had done was lay around all day reading. I remember in my canoeing life making a month long wilderness trip where we were all hungry every day, and we had been paddling every weekend leading up to the trip, eating the meals we were taking with us. But it is easy to ignore being a little hungry Saturday night when you know you will have access to all of the food you could want when you get home Sunday night. If I were backpacking I don't think one serving of the meal would be enough for me. And I am not a big eater.

Preparation is so easy when you read about it on the package but it is different when you try to do it. I boiled more water than I needed and used a for real 1/3 cup measuring cup to scoop it out of the pot. But I could only scoop up about half a 1/3 cup at a time. By the time I had the required 1-1/3 cup of water in there most of it had already been absorbed and there was very little left to wet the part of the meal in the corners of the envelope. Stirring in the envelope with the usual camping soup spoon is not easy. So when I got to eating the meal I found there were portions of it that were not adequately hydrated and these were generally surrounding chunks of meat.

Eating the entire meal I got 33% of my allowed cholesterol and 74% of my allowed salt, both of which I am supposed to avoid, and 72% of my recommended protein. There isn't much on the ingredients list that you can't pronounce or takes up an entire line.

This is not a cheap way to eat, but if you have to carry your food on your back all day it seems like a necessary evil. But if you are a through hiker what do you do with all of the empty envelopes. Full or empty those envelopes will take up a lot of space in a backpack. And you have to carry adequate water to hydrate yourself and all your meals until you get to the next water source.
