Hormel Premium Chicken Breast in Water with Rib Meat, 98% Fat Free, 5-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12)

Handy for casseroles and soups!

Single, on a budget, and still want to eat actual tasty food? This is perfect for being the main protein portion of a meal? It's one serving, doesn't require refrigeration, and has a good shelf life. For the food buck, it's a good bang. -- It works well for me. 10/10.

I find this works great for chicken salad, adding to ramen noodles along with some veggies, etc. The size is perfect for a single serving. I'm single and live alone -- in an apartment in an assisted living facility with almost no kitchen facilities at all, so finding "convenience" versions of things is important.The flavor is OK -- obviously not as good a rotisserie or freshly poached or grilled chicken, but it works when used along with other flavors, veggies, etc. I've used it several times for adding to ramen noodles with some mixed frozen veggies and a low-salt stir-fry sauce. Not fancy, but tasty. And this chicken tasted like it's supposed to (chicken), so I'm OK with that.Shelf stable, good price, etc. I'll purchase again.

I enjoy having this on hand to add to my little Yorkie’s meals. She is a senior now and very picky and loves this chicken added on! Considering grocery prices right now I find this to be pretty reasonable compared to other brands.

With meat supplies uneven, it's good to have shelf-stable protein on hand. Our household consists of just the two of us, so these small cans (think tuna-sized) are perfect for sandwiches, adding to soup, or using in creamy pasta sauce. They are also good mixed with beans for tacos or white bean chicken chili.They arrive in a sturdy one-layer box you can stand on end in a cupboard or garage until you break the outside plastic.Versatile and convenient, they are perfect for your emergency stash or for when you can't make it to the grocery store or are short on time.

Groceries cost so much now that I’ve developed a series of struggle meals. This chicken features in a few of them. I sauté onions, chilis, tomatoes, a can of chicken, spices, top with cilantro, and then scoop it into a tortilla, fold it up, and then crisp it in the 8” Dash griddle. You can serve with sour cream and guacamole on the side, a cup of soup, or a salad.It’s also good with pasta dishes, baked squash, omelettes, sautéed veggies with rice, or as a chicken salad.

In my quest to appease the End of the World gods, I bought a case of Chef Boyardee Ravioli and a case of this...Hormel White and Dark Chicken. It seemed like a good idea at the time, especially because I just finished reading a book about a family who, with just an armory full of weapons, the combined fighting skills of the Marines and the Ninjas, and enough stockpiled food (and a farm) to last them 100 years, managed to survive some really bad events. And okay, the bourbon and soda I drank might have influenced me a little too. Anyway, I ordered a case of each. Trust me, there is no event so bad that it will not be made worse by eating either. The ravioli was just plain bad, but anyone with a mind free of bourbon should be able to figure that out. The chicken, however, took me by surprise.First of all, when you open the can, it's about half water (chicken juice?). When you pour off this rather viscous and somewhat unpleasant liquid, you are left with odd shards, strings and lumps of what must have been the Wally Cox of chickendom. The label shows these big nuggets of tasty looking meat. Don't kid yourself. It tastes like salty nothing, by the way. No real chicken taste.I don't give up easily (and I love canned tuna in water, so you know I'm not fussy), so I got out some mayo, some green onions, celery, seasonings (I went for a lemony middle-eastern blend that usually makes anything taste good). I mixed it all up, spread it on some toasted sourdough and...nada. It still didn't taste good. My second attempt involved pouring a can into a box of Chicken Flavored Rice-a-Roni (okay, I ordered a case of that too...it might have been two glasses of bourbon). The Rice-A-Roni, by the way, is pretty good. I'd eat it even if the martians were not landing. But the chicken took away from the overall dish, it did not contribute.So, here's what I have figured out. Food in cans is, generally, pretty bad. Canned soups are popular because they taste pretty good, some of them. Ditto for canned tuna and canned sardines. The rest of the stuff, not so much. And Rice-a-Roni is just as delicious today as back in the day when your mom made it. It deserves a better name though. And if The World As We Know It does come to an end, let's face it, most of us are roadkill. It might be wise to invest our entire survival budget on a couple of cans of expensive but really good Italian sardines, truffles, some top quality crab meat and real Russian caviar. We won't be around long enough to enjoy much more than that.Three stars because, if you are hungry, it's okay and it won't hurt you. But Hormel White & Dark Chicken is just barely edging into the Fair zone. It is nowhere near Good.

It’s a good combination of light and dark meat. I love this when I need t make a quick sandwich for lunch or late snack. Tastes great with some mayo and a slice of cheese on rye.
