Hormel Premium No Salt Added Canned Chunk Chicken Breast in Water, 5 Ounce (Pack of 12)

For $2.43 per can this is a great addition to "ranch beans" for a really nice lunch instead of ordering out for $25 (including delivery & tip), so twice a week this is saving me about $2,236 per year and it tastes better and is more natural than the fast food choices I have near work. Awesome with a chunk of either sour cream or cream cheese on top. Don't forget the crackers.

A very convenient food. I like to keep a supply on hand. Quality and taste are always consistently good.

I'm pleased. The reviews vary greatly, so I figured I was taking a chance as I really didn't know what to expect. I am pleasantly surprised by how good these tins of white and dark turkey meat are. They are full of meat, with really no liquid (see my picture). It is more like a thick broth. I didn't bother straining any of it off because there simply isnt enough. Though I wonder if ambient house temp impacts this (currently winter, with cool house, with pantry in coldest part of house, so fats may thicken up)?Good sized chunks, good taste- albeit similar to chicken. I mean, its meat in a can so for the most part expect it to taste, smell, appear as such. If you don't like tinned chicken then you wont like this. If you are expecting carved turkey breast, you wont like this. It is canned meat, so it is what it is. And for me, it is exactly as I was hoping for, and so it gets 5 stars from me. The main thing for me is that it wasn't a tin of mush, and it wasn't a tin of liquid. I wanted to pay for meat, not water, and this has been so far a very good purchase. I'll buy again so long as price stays reasonable. Currently $15.60 for 12 cans.Very convenient. I dont rely on tinned meat for day to day living, but it comes in handy. I keep an assortment in my pantry- chicken, tuna, salmon, and now turkey. It makes for quick no fuss protein source for salads, crackers, sandwiches, and quick soups. But I also keep it on hand for emergency use. Good for SHTF as well as semi regular use. Not always able to get to the store, not always able to find foods in store, not always able to pay the prices, and so on. Also, I have two big dogs and 3 cats, so having extra meat on hand also reassures me that they will have nibbles in case there is food shortage for them. I just like having a variety of food available. I never bought tinned turkey before but now I plan to add it to my on going grocery/pantry list. Glad to have found something worthwhile to stock in my pantry. YUM!

This is the ideal amount of meat that I have it on a subscription basis.

Great little canned ham; I buy it by the case. Tastes great and I use it for breakfast, casseroles, just to eat - everything! You just need to break it apart with a fork in a pan with a little real butter, and it's great! Very convenient!

Item arrived in great condition. Hard to find low sodium canned chicken, but this is a great solution!

I make a dish that my kids love and the ham is really good.

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.
