Great value for single cook, or housebound! The meat hydrates quickly with the addition of water. The meat is moist, flavorful, unsalted, no additives, no excess packaging. Serving for serving, an economical option to canned, packaged, or deli chicken. No worries about expiration, no need to cook chicken then divide, freeze, etc. obviously, you wouldn’t feed a family of 6 with this chicken on a regular basis. But terrific for camping, pantry staple, and especially for single serving of chicken breast —ready to eat in minutes. Great protein source!

I wasn’t sure what to expect but this is really good. Even any unabsorbed water taste like chicken broth. I bought it before a hurricane, because we knew we would loose power for a few days. It’s a pretty big can and I wish there were more size options because once it’s opened it needs to be used up pretty quickly. But it’s very easy to use up in any recipe that needs chicken. From chicken alfredo to stir fried rice, it’s perfect. My picky husband didn’t even complain, in fact he ate extra. Win win!

This can was full almost to the brim! Good flavor, nice size pieces (not too small) and rehydrated very well with good texture. I would give five stars except that this is not low PUFA pasture raised chicken (none of the brands I have tried or researched are).

Bottom line up front: This type of food is a great choice for an emergency food supply, especially for sheltering in place or evacuating by vehicle. The #10 cans have a 25-year shelf life, so you can buy them and not worry about rotating your stock for a couple of decades. The biggest downside is that once opened, they need to be used up right away.SHELF LIFE - The #10 cans have a 25-year shelf life (unopened). The biggest downside to #10 cans versus individual pouches is that the 25-year shelf life turns into a 1-week shelf life once they've been opened. Since each can has enough for 10 servings, you'll be eating the same thing for several meals unless you're cooking for a group.TASTE - In my experience, Mountain House food is really tasty. Let me caveat this review by saying that although I've eaten other Mountain House freeze-dried food, I haven't had occasion to open the ones in the #10 cans (see my review of the "Mountain House 72-Hour Emergency Meal Kit"). That having been said, the Mountain House food I have tried has been very, very good tasting -- not just good compared to other survival foods, but good period. I have no reason to expect that these would be any different.WEIGHT/CONVENIENCE - As steel cans, they're reasonably durable and reasonably lightweight (not backpacking light, but you don't have to be a weightlifter to move a large box of them). They do take up a bit of volume, but since the overwhelming majority of long-term emergency scenarios involve sheltering in place or evacuating by vehicle, I wouldn't let that be a deal breaker (personnally, I have a stock of individual pouches just in case I have to leave on foot, but most of my food is in these cans).CALORIES - The problem with most freeze-dried emergency food is that a so-called "serving" has too few calories to meet an adult's energy requirements (2500 a day for men; 2000 a day for women -- more with heavy exertion), so you end up consuming more than you planned. These are no different. So even though a typical can ostensibly contains 10 1-cup servings, you really need to eat two servings per meal to get enough calories to survive -- perhaps more. Plan your purchase accordingly.

Discovering this freeze-dried chicken dog treats was a game-changer for my pup's snacking routine. Unlike other powdery treats, these maintain a satisfying crunch thanks to their premium freeze-drying technique. With a clean ingredient list focused solely on real chicken, they've become my go-to choice for a healthy and irresistible reward. The unmistakable aroma and flavor of the chicken make tail-wagging excitement a guarantee, while the convenient resealable metal container ensures lasting freshness. Although a bit pricier, the quality and benefits they bring to my dog's coat and energy levels make them a worthwhile investment than the dog treats I normally buy. These freeze-dried treats have unquestionably earned their place as a must-have in our treat collection – a true delight for any four-legged friend!

I bought it for emergency use in the future. The packaging was sturdy and undamaged. I plan to add other freeze-dried and dehydrated foods to make a hearty meal. I have used this brand before and found it tasted pretty good.
