VALLEY FRESHChuck Chicken in Water, White & Dark, 10 Ounce (Pack of 12)

This is a great item to have on hand for any of your chicken dishes that you want to create. I received a box of 12 individual packages of this. I love the taste. There is some liquid in the package so I just drain it and use as desired. There was no delay in shipment and came on time. I have used this in making Chicken Noodle Casserole, in Quesidilas and for making a Gluten Free white pizza. Have not been disappointed at all. This is a second purchase for me as I like to have it readily available. The chicken is in good sized chunks and has great taste. It can easily be broken apart if you wanted to or left as it it. I left all the packages in the box on my kitchen bar for easy to grab and use by using the punch off marks on the box so it holds them nicely upright. I will purchase this again. I am not affiliated with this company and I am not paid to do any review from them or Amazon. I tell it as I see it after I have used a product.

The chicken is diced in small pieces. There is no gristle and minimal water. There is no “off” taste. These pouches are perfect for whipping up a quick meal with little fuss or mess. I did buy them heavily discounted, so the price point was not an issue for me, but I would not buy them at regular price ever.

Quality product and delicious!

Considering the mixed reviews on this product, I was reluctant to order it.However, I really wanted to find a brand of mixed white and dark meat asI find chicken breast to be overly dry and less flavorful. I tried Kirdland'scanned chicken breast and while it is a terrific value--lots of goodquality breast meat and very little water--it is just too dry for my liking.Well, I am very happy I tried Valley Fresh brand. Yes, as reported it does havea lot of broth in it, but the meat is tender, moist and flavorful. Since one ofthe main ways I intend to use this is in soups, the extra broth is okay with me.It is a fair trade off for the tastiness of the meat. And it is NOT greasy.The first thing I did with it was to sift out some meat (leaving the broth for later)mashed it up with a spoon, added a little salt, garlic powder and pepper, and nukedit for about 15 seconds. Then I used it to make a simple sandwich of bread, MiracleWhip and the meat. It was wonderful. It should be even better when I try it thenext time with additional ingredients I use to make chicken salad.As for the ingredients, it has NO preservatives except the sea salt, and the fewadded ingredients--rice starch, vegetable starch, chicken flavor (salt, chickenbroth, natural flavors) and flavoring--constitute 2% or less (by weight) of thetotal product (per the label on the can). The flavoring could simply be someonion or garlic or parsley or another non-artificial ingredient. Whatever itis, the end product Is much to my liking.I am writing this review because I just finished my sandwich and signedright on to Amazon to order several cases of this chicken to keep on hand.I would have given it five stars if it had just a little less broth and moremeat. But for the taste, tenderness and moistness of the meat--it gets five stars.

With my food allergies I find this to be the only chicken I can eat. It’s the only one that’s white and dark meat that’s natural. I’m very allergic to breast meat and was happy to find their product like this.

This chicken is really in chunks, in its actual broth, which makes it usable in soup, salad, tacos, or a pasta sauce and probably more. Great for a quick meal without a lot of fuss.It tastes like real food -- no processed flavor.AND it has no phosphates-- critical for my husband's kidney-sparinf diet.We've just bought our 3rd case of this, & it won't be the last.

I live in Florida and the cans were very hot when delivered. Will not purchase again

I've purchased this item multiple times for my mom and for myself. It's the best of any of the canned or packaged pre cooked chicken I've found. I initially bought it during the early days of the pandemic because it's shelf stable and those were uncertain times. I bought it for my 88 year old mom. Well she loves it, it's so easy for her to use. It's a bit pricy but well worth it for her because it simplifies her meal prep so much. She doesn't eat beef so she makes a lot of chicken dishes. She uses this to make quick chicken salad, adds it to salads for the protein, uses it to make low sodium chicken soups, adds it to casseroles, etc.. she loves it! I use it to make a fancy chicken salad. It's great for using on hot summer days. I can justify the price because it saves so much time and I'm not using energy to cook it or store it.
