No pot-cleaning chicken (or tuna) and noodles:

2 packs chicken Raman Noodles
1 foil pack of chicken (or tuna)
1 little foil pouch of pizza place parmesan cheese
Dash O' Tobasco
1 quart zip-lock self-standing bag.


Boil 3-4 cups water. Crunch up dry Raman and put in zip-lock. Add chicken, Tobasco, and cheese. Add boiling water, stir, let sit for 10 min. Eat. Goes good with Ritz or club crackers. Put trash in zip-lock. Lick fork clean. Check out scenery while eating an Oreo.

Good recipe for chicken salad sandwiches (for 2) on the trail:

1 foil pouch of chicken
2 (7-11) packets of mayo or miracle whip
2 (7-11) packets of sweet relish
1 (7-11) packet of mustard
Salt/Pepper
Dash O' Tabasco (optional)
2 Hoagie rolls


Dump everything in 1 pint zip-lock bag or use foil pouch. Smash all together. Put on hoagie roll. Eat. Goes good with Cheeze-Its and powdered Gatorade.

Also works with Tuna which can be found in 8 oz or 4 oz foil pouches.

Just thought I'd let you guys know about my experience with Pasta-Roni dishes on the trail last week. Anyone experienced with Lipton meals will feel right at home with any of the available flavors of Pasta-Roni, and all were good. My personal favorites were the creamy recipes, with Angel Hair Pasta Primavera being the best of the bunch.

Before I left, I transferred all contents into small Ziploc's, and added the required amounts of powdered milk directly to the mix. Also, instead of butter/margarine I used olive oil, with excellent results. Very nutritious, VERY filling, and packs down ultralight.

I also carried vacuum-sealed bags of pre-cooked chicken breast to add to the meals (look at your grocery store next to deviled ham, potted meat products, etc) These little wonders are expensive, but they're definitely worth it when pack weight/bulk are a problem. For a shorter weekend hike, I'd just use the chicken breast in the 4 oz Al cans, though

Chicken & Dumplings


Ingredients:
2 envelopes Lipton's Cream of Chicken Cup-o-soup
1 can Swanson's Chunk Chicken Meat
1/2 package of mixed freeze-dried vegetables
1 cup Bisquick in a zip-lock bag
Water
Mix the soup, chicken meat and vegetables in a relatively deep pot with 2 to 3
cups water. Place on camp stove. Heat to simmering, stirring occasionally. While
soup stuff is heating, add water (see Bisquick box instructions for qty.) to
Bisquick and knead in the zip-lock bag. When soup stuff is hot, tear off a
corner of the bag and squeeze out plops of Bisquick into the pot. Cover and cook
for about 10 mintues on low heat.

1 cup pasta (or 1 brick ramen, crushed)
1/2 package Knorr Cheese Sauce mix (approx. 1/4 cup)
1/4 cup powdered milk
3 oz can of chicken (or 3 oz envelope of tuna)
2 1/4 (maybe 2 1/3) cups water

At home, put pre-measured sauce mix + powdered milk in a ziplock baggie. Package your pasta separately as well.

Boil water in a small covered pot. Add pasta and cook until done (ramen can just soak, macaroni type need a rolling boil for 8 minutes).

Add sauce/milk mix to cooked pasta, mix well and return to heat. Then add chicken or tuna.

Sauce will thicken in a few minutes. Eat.

Cook Ramen noodles add a packet of Tuna, relish & mayo. Poof ~ Tuna Cassarol, Well, ok, maybe not but lotsa' energy in it & very tasty. It is a stapel for me on 2-3 day hikes. Throw the soduim packet away before you leave.

Add 1 tablespoon of peanutbutter to your ramen. It not only adds flavor & protein, but reduces the overly salty taste of the cheaper Ramen.

RICE POCKETS

Cook the rice as directed, along with the green peppers and mushrooms. When the rice is done, scoop it into a pita bread pocket along with the parmesan cheese. This dish is loaded with carbohydrates and fiber, and tastes great.
