1cn3 to 5 ounces chicken

Notes

There was a reason it became the flagship recipe for FBC. It was easy, quick to pack, filled you up and tasted good. It also signified something else - only a few days later we took www.freezerbagcooking.com live. It was over Thanksgiving Weekend in 2004. It has been fun - from some of the first recipes have come 100’s more each year. The book, the cozy all came out of that one lunch all those years ago.

Instructions

At home pack the dry ingredients into a quart freezer or sandwich bag. Place the can of chicken with it.

FBC method:
Add the chicken with broth and 1 1/4 cups near boiling water. Stir well, seal tightly and put into a
cozy for 15 minutes. Fluff up and salt to taste if desired.

Mug method:
Add the chicken with broth and 1 1/4 cups boiling water to the dry ingredients in your mug. Stir well, tightly cover and let sit for 15 minutes. Fluff up and salt to taste if desired.

Cranberry Chicken Rice

This meal is a staple on my backpacking trips.  Simple, quick and filling and it never disappoints.  I dehydrate my own chicken using 10oz cans from Costco that equate to 7 oz of chicken.  The chicken's dehydrated weight is about 2 oz.  The other bonus of this meal is it packs tightly; very important when squeezing food into a bear canister.
