What foods to store in a food storage program is a popular topic – but what about making meals from that food? Not so much.
For this week’s recipe, I put together something very tasty – Knorr Chicken Flavored Rice & Canned Chicken. Knorr packaged sides are very popular with preppers. There are many flavors and are very inexpensive. Many take these small mylar packages and add them to food storage buckets as part of a food storage program.
For this recipe, I picked up a pack of Knorr Rice Sides in chicken flavor. The cost was an even $1.00. All that is required for preparation is boiled water. Added to complete this simple meal is a single can of cooked chicken – $1.65 on sale.
Here we go…..
Ingredients
- 1 can chicken
- 1 package Knorr Rice Sides Chicken Flavor
- 2 cups water
Instructions
- measure out 2 cups water
- pour the water in a small pot
- add the Knorr rice to the water
- bring water/rice mix to a boil
- turn off heat
- add drained can of chicken to rice and stir
- cover pot and let sit for 5-7 minutes
- stir one final time and serve.
This is a great meal for preppers. Preparation is incredibly easy and for around $2.50 you get a total of 825 calories and 60 valuable grams of protein. Hard to beat!
Take care all and…
There is no time for complacency.

I love Knorr Sides! I use them on a regular basis. Sometimes I use leftover beef, chicken, turkey, or pork. Some of them, like the Spanish Rice also go well with Tuna.
Love Knorr sides. Keep them for quick meals especially when the wife is out. Had combinations with chicken, tuna and even clams. The Knorr chicken bouillon powder is a staple in the pantry. These are great ideas and hope others will share similar ideas. Quick, easy, good tasting and somewhat normal for unusual situations. Keep Looking Up
Add the water from the chicken as part of the 2 cups of water and it will enhance the flavor of the dish. Use this trick any time a recipe calls for water and you are using canned ingredients. Cuts down on the amount of water you have to add.
As an aside for those that don’t know…
You can freeze eggs and keep them a long time. If we get a deal at the store we will freeze individual eggs in cupcake tins (not paper, they stick) then put them into a freezer bag. When my wife makes a recipe calling for a couple of eggs just pull how many we need and cook with them. We do 6 eggs together in a bag and stack several bags in the freezer in a container so they will stack when frozen. When we go camping we grab some packs of eggs to use for ice packs, when it’s time to cook them just set the bag on the fire ring to thaw then add some milk shake and pour in the frying pan. Also good for surprise leftover party guests in the morning. No sunny-side up tho as the yolks break. They last in the freezer for a year easily. Learned that trick going to sea in the Navy.
