Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken

Well here goes. I purchased a storage locker that contained a vast quantity of freeze dried foods. Included was 5 packages of The Fettuccini Alfredo with chicken. The best by date is 8/10/22 so the product was past that date by approx. 3 1/2 years. The packaging is a bit different 7.5oz and makes 2 servings. Well I thought what the heck and made a package according to the instructions. I was blown away at just how good this stuff is. I can't imagine it tasting better if I would have eaten it by the best buy date. I added a teaspoon of butter after I made it. It goes to show you that they must be using quality ingredients and packaging this stuff properly! Just buy it!

Instead of packing sandwiches for a long day hike, I threw my stove in the pack along with Backpackers Supply entree, Pesto Pasta with Chicken. The small penne pasta was perfect after about 15 minutes of set time, along with the chicken and pesto it was a gourmet meal, so glad I didn’t have to share it. 🙂

Definitely one of the best meals BP offers. Has good protein content too.

I purchased quite a few of the Backpacker's Pantry meals and I must say that none of them disappointed. I look forward to trying others but for now my favorites were the fettuccini alfredo, 3 cheese mac and cheese, lasagna, and Pad Thai. They taste fresh and you can tell are made with quality ingredients! With some dehydrated meals I find my stomach gets upset or there is an aftertaste, but this was not the case with these ! I did notice there were some chunks that were a little tougher or didn't rehydrate as much as the rest but that could be user error with amount of water or cook time.... Honestly, It's a no brainer, order from them for your next trip!

Really like this one. Needs a bit longer to rehydrate and a touch more water, we find.
