Menu 21 Chicken Breast Fillet, Garlic and Herb Seasoning

[hannonmc]

I just got a 2013 B case this weekend, and I was pleasantly surprised to see the lemon tuna subbed out for this menu.

I'm quite curious to try it out. I'm also curious to see if they include a FRH in here or not.

From what little research I've done, it may be similar retort packaging to a commercial BBQ chicken filet that I've had before, which I also ate on a torilla. So this may be a very good subtitution. I probably would have no problem eating this code with a little mayo on the tortilla. Much like a chicken wrap.

I had the chicken twice, so great and tasty.

I'm looking forward to this one... Also looking forward to trying the Asian Beef.

I just got one of these in a B case. I opened it up (I was pretty confused when I first saw the name) yesterday, and ate it today. The chicken was delicious. It came with 2 tortillas and some non-fat mayo. I decided to try the chicken with mayo on the tortillas and sprinkled some "seasoning blend salt free" on them to make a fajita kind of thing. Very tasty...I would even say it is my new favorite.

I was really disappointed to find that there was no FRH included. (No cardboard box/sleeve either.) I'm kind of curious to find out why there wasn't one included.

Anyways, I took some pictures that I thought I would share with everybody.














All the best,
Brad

Yes, that chicken breast is real great! I guess the FRH + bag is missing as that chicken breast replaced the tuna and the tuna was to be eaten cold. That´s why they also came two tortillia and the fat free mayo wit it.

About the missing cardboard box, that dish came from Sopacko ususally in a plain, white pouch,





at least they changed the color of the pouch, that one on my pictures was white.

John Shipe at The Epicenter informed me that they have a re-stock on some "new date" items including the Chicken Breast.

[10/22/14--from his email:]
"Plus, the following items have returned in stock with new production dates:
Chicken Breast (2014 ) $2.50
Chicken Noodle (2014 ) $2.50
Meatballs with Marinara Sauce (2014 ) $2.50"

It doesn't seem to indicate whether it's with the garlic and herb seasoning however.

I like John's reviews, but Jen is a hoot!

Semi-miracle! I found one yesterday in my base commissary. Naturally, I snapped it up. Review coming soon!

I can confirm this for 2014 also. My case B (4039) has the chicken breast for menu 21 NOT the tuna.

It's been very interesting to see all this and to see the meal....thanks to all!

You would think that if the Tuna is such a problem that Natick would just accept it and move on and update the menu lists with the chicken or pursue another fish option. I do find it interesting that Tuna is the only fish on offer....or not as the case may be right now. Perhaps fish doesn't go down well in field tests. I've tried more RCIR than anything else and they have quite a few fishy offerings...salmon is especially good.
