Campers Pantry Chicken Cacciatore Review
The Campers Pantry Chicken Cacciatore is another great option in the Campers Pantry Expedition Range of meals. Gill and I came away with different views of this meal which doesn’t happen that often.
Preparing this meal is relatively simple. Once you flatten out the bae of the bag and tear the top add 300 ml of boiling water before letting stand for a total of 15 minutes. At the five minute mark you need to stir the meal. I’g suggest adding a little bit less water and at around the 5 minute mark if its still a bit solid add a tiny bit more.
Price wise this single serve meal is AUD$18.99 RRP at the time of review. For a single serve meal this is on the higher end of the scale but given the compact packaging, quality of the meal, and longevity in storage, this meal is great value. Size wise this meal is 80 grams dry which is marginally smaller than some of the other options in the range but once it’s rehydrated it’s very filling.
Campers Pantry meals have a good level of protein content which is so important particularly over the longer trips. This meal has 30 grams of protein per single serve meal. The calorie count for a single serve is also good coming in at 425 calories meaning you can minimise the weight you carry to get the appropriate food intake.
So how did the taste test go?
He said
While I found the Chicken Cacciatore to have good taste and texture, it was on the blander scale for me. I’m happy to eat this one but given the choice of the Campers Pantry Cauliflower and Pea Dahl or the Chicken Pilaf, I’ll opt for those first. Having said that I like my meals on the spicy side as you can always add spice if you want to.
She said
Gill liked this one as much as the others but preferred the texture of the Chicken Cacciatore best. You can tell there’s plenty of chicken and it seems less stodgy to other freeze dried options on the market.
