    Pretty close to perfect

    First things first…the flavor is phenomenal. Maybe one of my top five backpacking meals. Without question I will be buying this again to add to the pack. I do have to say that the dumplings did not rehydrate well and even after more time than suggested and being placed in a reflectix coozie, they were still a little bit crunchy. But the strange thing is that it was actually very pleasant. Reminded me of eating an incredible chicken stew with biscuits and once in a while you get a burnt biscuit bottom. Very tasty and it seemed to add some texture. So maybe a pro, maybe a con but the flavor, nutritional value, price, and serving size were perfect. Do yourself a favor and pick up this meal. Looking forward to the rest of the menu options. So glad I found Pinnacle Foods.

    The Business!

    The meals just keep on getting better and better. I keep a solid stash of this and the biscuits and gravy at all times. Phenomenal meal. Texture, ingredients, shelf life - all top shelf! The absolute best.

    BEST Ever!

    This meal is hands down the best I've ever had! I've tried many varieties and many brands, but this Pinnacle chicken and dumpling was just that good - comfort food that was super flavorful and really filling. I'll be buying a bunch of these so my other family members can enjoy it on our next backpacking trip!

    Best Comfort Food!

    This meal reminded me of chicken pot pie, which is my favorite comfort food. As others have mentioned the biscuits don't completely rehydrate, but the light crunchy texture just made it seem even more like chicken pot pie (the crust), so I don't think it's a bad thing! This is definitely one of the most delicious and satisfying backpacking meals I've eaten.

    One of my favorites.

    The flavor is wonderful... The textures are spot on. This is probably my favorite breakfast pouch that I've tried and I've tried lots of companies. You won't be disappointed with this... Or any of the meals from Pinnacle.

    Good but not perfect

    Absolutely fantastic meal, but it would be perfect if it had just a touch more seasoning. Still a go-to meal.

    Dug into this meal on second day of backpacking. Was everything my body needed, absolutely wonderful. Love the chicken chunks and biscuit / gravy. Seasoning and flavors were perfect. Will definitely always have this guy around for high intensity hikes.

    Chicken and dumplings on the trail? What more could you want?! This is hearty and filling for those long days of backpacking. Fills you up and keeps you warm inside.

    First backpacking meal I actually look forward to eating

    This is the most delicious backpacking meal I've ever eaten, bar none. I seriously scrape the package clean so I can get every bite. I recommend giving it another 3-5 minutes to rehydrate above and beyond what the package says to avoid crunchy biscuits. Thanks, Pinnacle!

    Oh my, that was so good!!!

    I love it when I can identify the ingredients in a meal before I add the water. This did not disappoint!!! I just love Chicken and Biscuits at home, it is one of my favorite comfort meals. This backpacking meal tastes homemade. I'll be back for more when they are in stock again!

    My Favorite!

    I love all the meals but there is something special about this one that I absolutely LOVE. I have always liked a hearty chicken pot pie and that's what this is like. Tastes like it came out of the oven at home, which makes it extra special when you are on the trail. Plus I feel like there is enough food for two people. But I always eat it all myself because it's so delicious!

    One of the best

    This is one of the best backpacking meals I've had, and I've tried a lot of them. Texture is always difficult to achieve on freeze dried and dehydrated meals and Pinnacle nailed it on this one. Will definitely order again.

    Mmhmmm finger licking good

    I’ve tried a few meals, but nothing quite hits like this one — the blend of textures from the tender chicken to the crunch of the dumplings is just next level. It’s the kind of meal that feels like home, like a soul-warming chicken pot pie after a long day on the trail.

    It’s definitely one of my go-to’s. I always pack a packet of Tapatío for a little extra kick — it takes it over the top.

    Incredible!

    I really enjoyed this meal because of the added texture of the biscuits. All of the Pinnacle Foods freeze dried meals are incredible but this one really stood out because of the biscuits. You can't go wrong with Pinnacle Foods.

    Taste delicious and you get a lot of food

    This is the first freeze dried meal that I would gladly eat regardless of if I'm at home or deep in the woods. This is enough for two meals so you get a lot of value. My only criticism, I wish they had alternatives for the meals that contain pork so I can try more of pinnacle's offerings.

    Remarkable!

    We rated these a 10/10! We have purchased camping meals from 5 companies and didn't think Peak Refuel could be beaten. But Pinnacle can definitely hang with them and maybe outperform!

    Great dinner

    My wife and I love the pinnacle dinners and this one is no different. Sometimes you need something to look forward to at the end of a hard day of hiking and a pinnacle backpacking meal in the woods always hits the spot. The recommended water amount has been good for us most of the time. Rehydration has been good, but in the colder weather rehydration has suffered a little so we will get insulated pouches to hold the heat in for better rehydration. Definitely not a fault of the food. Taste is great and you get the sodium you need without feeling like you’re being poisoned by raw salt. Also the wide pouches are great rather than other companies with their tall packages. Nobody wants their dinner on their knuckles from trying to reach the bottom of a tall pouch.

    Delicious!

    Pinnacle foods is by far the best brand of backpacking meals I have eaten and this meal is very good. Its very hearty and will fill you up and is just great after a long day. That said this is not my favorite meal Pinnacle sells but is still very good. I keep one or two with me just to change it up so I'm not eating the same thing over and over.

    They done did it again!

    My wife chose this meal to try on our last Backpacking trip. We sat next to an alpine lake and dug in. This was the first time I had tried this specific meal by Pinnacles Foods. I just say, this meal is now in the top two of what I have been lucky to eat in the Backcountry in my life!

    Pretty Darn Good

    This was fantastic. From taste alone I was stoked from the first bite. I will say, it didn't rehydrate quite as I expected. The biscuits were still a bit crunchy in the middle and I definitely added enough water. But surprisingly I didn't mind and the texture added some nice variety.

    Really freggin good

    These somehow taste homemade. I don't know what their batch process is, but these meals taste the most real of any backcountry meal I've tried. Hope they are developing a couple more entrees.

    My favorite meal. My child's favorite meal.

    I've mentioned this meal on my own little website a few times because I absolutely love it. To be succinct, the roasted chicken and white cheddar biscuit dumplings meal is my favorite in terms of texture and flavor. I've purchased a ton of them because my daughter will steal mine if I don't bring her some when we're out in the Winds.

    Also, we've never had any issues with rehydration for ours. I've made them well with the reflective, insulated pouch and without. (Temps between 40-70F.)

    AMAZING!!

    Recently had these for dinner after a full day of backpacking, and was the perfect end to the day. Cooked one with the recommended amount of water and one with slightly less than the recommended. I proffered less water, but totally a person preference. Great job as always!!

    Amazing

    Growing up in south Georgia, I was used to eating my grandma's homemade chicken n dumplins. It's my comfort food, so when I found this brand and this product I had to give it a try. This is the best backpacking meal I've ever had. It tasted great and esily digestable at over 12,000 feet, in my current home of Colorado. The Ingredients tasted fresh and did not make me feel sluggish afterwards, which happens with some of the other brands. I will be taking Pinnacle foods meals on my solo expedition of Aconcagua. I am confident these meals will taste great at high altitude and provide all the nutrients I need.

    Herb Roasted & White Cheddar - Uh yeah!

    This meal was one of the first meals that I had from Pinnacle Foods Co. I love any meal with biscuits and white cheddar biscuits literally called my name! I found that it took almost 20 minutes to fully rehydrate the biscuits (still pretty crunchy at the recommended 12 minutes) but the meal itself was delicious. I would definitely purchase again. Also needs a dash of salt to really being out the flavors. Another great meal!

    Great flavor, but didn't hydrate well

    The flavor was out of this world. And the consistency of just about everthing seemed as fresh as can be. But the dumplings did not rehydrate well and were crunchy on the interior. I didn't hate it, and it was still pleasurable and palatable. And I would still consider eating it again. However, I can still imagine it would be a lot better if it fully rehydrated.

    Wow. I've been avoiding freeze-dried backpacking meals for decades because so many horrible. This meal is spot on in every way - flavor, texture, consistency, calorie/weight ratio, & high protein. Really a perfect trail meal!! I would give this 6 stars if I could. Thank you!

    The Chicken and dumplings were fire! You can taste the amount of effort that went into making these so delicious. I agree with some of the reviews that the dumplings had a little bit of a crunch in the middle, but I prefer it that way. I will 100% be buying this again!

    Really good!

    Pinnacle is quickly becoming my favorite among freeze dried meals. I love this meal! Nice sauce, good flavor, good rehydration on the chicken. As with most dumpling or biscuit-type meals, these dumplings have a slight bit of crunch to them, but I actually prefer that. All in all, this is a really exceptional meal. I've ordered more of these to have on hand.

    A trail meal I actually look forward to

    I'll confess, sometimes while backpacking my evening meal is more endured than enjoyed. That's not even close to the case with Pinnacle Foods' Herb Roasted Chicken and White Cheddar Dumplings. Sure, it's still dehydrated food but it's easily the tastiest, best textured, and enjoyable trail meal I've eaten in years. Hint - after letting the pack sit for 12 minutes as directed, open and stir well, then close and let sit for another 3-4 minutes to help the biscuits rehydrate and lose any lingering crunchiness. Goodbye gagging down my dinner and hello to sporking up every drop!
