Mountain House Rice and Chicken Freeze-Dried Meal #10 Can

Mountain House Rice and Chicken is a freeze-dried meal in a #10 can, built for emergency food storage, large-group camp cooking, and any situation where a hot meal needs to come together in under 10 minutes. The can holds 9 servings of tender cooked chicken, long-grain parboiled rice, red bell pepper, carrots, and celery, and carries a 30-year taste guarantee. It is dairy free, gluten free, and free of artificial flavors, colors, and preservatives.

Ready in Under 10 Minutes, Hot or Cold Water

Mountain House Rice and Chicken rehydrates with hot water in less than 10 minutes. When hot water is not available, cold or room-temperature water works too. Just allow double the rehydration time. That flexibility matters in a power outage, a winter storm, or a backcountry camp where fuel is limited. No cooking equipment beyond a way to heat water is required.

A Can That Serves the Whole Group

At 9 servings per can, Rice and Chicken scales to feed a family or a larger group from a single container. The can includes a resealable plastic lid: once opened, the remaining contents can be resealed and used for up to one week. At 9 servings, the can is sized for group or multi-meal use, so scoop out what you need and store the rest.

30-Year Taste Guarantee

Mountain House backs this can with a 30-year taste guarantee, making it a long-horizon option for emergency food storage. The can is recyclable. Packaging appearance may vary, but the product inside remains the same.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

Mountain House Rice and Chicken in the #10 can suits households building an emergency food supply, camp cooks feeding a group, and anyone who wants a long-shelf-life meal that requires only water and minimal prep time. The gluten-free and dairy-free formulation broadens its fit for households with those dietary needs.

At 9 servings, this can is sized for group or multi-meal use, not a solo overnight pack. Once opened, contents should be used immediately or within one week when resealed with the included lid; it is not intended for long-term storage after opening. The can is sold by weight, not volume, and some settling during shipping is normal.
