Mountain House Rice and Chicken is a freeze-dried Adventure Meal pouch built around long grain parboiled rice, tender cooked chicken, red bell pepper, carrots, and celery in a seasoned sauce. The single pouch contains two servings and 500 calories total. It is dairy free, gluten free, and free of artificial flavors, colors, and preservatives.
A Full Meal Ready in Under 10 Minutes
Add water directly to the pouch and the meal is ready to eat in less than 10 minutes. The pouch opens wide enough to eat from directly, so there is no bowl to wash and no extra gear to carry. That matters at the end of a long day on the trail or during a power outage when cleanup is the last thing you want to think about.
Familiar Flavors That Travel Well
Rice and Chicken pairs long grain parboiled rice with chicken, zesty pimientos, and a blend of sage, thyme, turmeric, and celery seed. The ingredient list is straightforward: no artificial flavors, no artificial colors, no preservatives. What goes in the pouch is close to what you would put in a pot at home, just ready wherever you happen to be.
Compact and Versatile
The pouch weighs 0.32 lb, making it easy to slot into a pack, a vehicle emergency kit, or a pantry shelf. Mountain House notes that packaging appearance may vary, but the contents remain the same.
