    If you can get these on sale they're a great option. Lightweight, high in protein and adequate calories, good taste if you follow the rehydration instructions. At full price they aren't as standoutish against other companies, but are competitive.

    Favorite Backpacking Meal

    Legitimately our favorite backpacking meal! We now always pack Santa Fe chicken and rice for at least 1 meal every trip and it has not let us down. Continually tastes great, has lots of protein, and produces a good texture.

    Stoked you enjoy the meals!

    Received the incorrect item

    Overall they did great considering my large order but I did receive a six pack of another item that I didn’t want initially. I can still use it but will need to replace it!

    Hey Janice,

    What the six pack item that you did not receive?

    Super tasty, high protein

    Brought these out for a training event and it was waaaaaay better than MREs. Super easy to make and very good. A lot of the guys were asking about it the whole time.

    Hey Rich,

    We are super stoked you have made the jump from MRE's to our product! Hopefully you were kind enough to share some with your friends!

    Great flavor and all natural!

    Wasn’t spicy at all, didn’t make me thirsty after, smells fantastic.

    It took me less than 15 minutes to cook but I was below 5000 feet so it makes sense.

    Will order more for sure!

    Thank you, Anna! We are so glad you enjoyed our Santa Fe Style Rice & Beans with Chicken, and we appreciate the cooking guidance for other customers at lower altitudes. Thank you!

    No complaints

    A delicious meal all around. As a native of southern California, the mild spice doesn't bother me much. I could see it not being favored by others.

    Thank you Brandon! We are so glad you enjoyed our Santa Fe Style Rice & Beans with Chicken. Thank you for noting the spice as well!

    Good Taste. Good Protein. Good Food.

    Wasn't too spicy at all. Same as the other meals, I enjoyed the ease of making them. Also, like the amount of protein in this meal. Definitely one of my top menu options from BP.

    This has to be my favorite backpacking meal of all time. Backpackers panty was already my favorite brand and I love the pad Thai, Alfredo, and lasagna, but this meal might take the cake, for me at least. What is the easiest way y’all separate it into a single serving?!? I still can’t eat a whole meal despite it being my favorite!!

    This was a delicious meal. My wife and I shared it for breakfast on a cold morning by a river. Very good seasoning, nice portion size, recommended!

    Great!

    I've tried many different brands and meals on my many backpacking adventures. This Santa Fe Chicken from Backpackers Pantry was great! Like a lot of freeze dried meals this claims to be a two serving size, but after an extensive hike I would keep this all for myself as one meal.
