Trail Fill-Up: Chicken Alfredo

Trail Fill-Up: Chicken Alfredo
Super easy
Cheap

If you’ve been eating dehydrated meals on backpacking trips for a while, you understand that the serving sizes listed don’t always match up. Especially after a long day on the trail, it’s not uncommon to find yourself fighting with your hiking buddy over spoonfuls of that two-serving pack of mac and cheese. However, making and packaging your own food helps get the amounts right, and having a filling, hearty backcountry meal goes a long way to making sure you’re ready for the next day.-

With this Chicken Alfredo recipe, one serving will be all you need. Ultimately, this meal is best on trips where you’re very active: backpacking, kayak touring, and multi-sport adventure weekends. According to the Mayo Clinic, a 160-pound person burns approximately 511 calories per hour while backpacking, which this delicious meal will more than make up for.

Ingredients

For 1 Serving(s)

Ingredients

2 oz Angel Hair Pasta
1 7 oz pack Tyson Grilled & Ready fully cooked chicken pouch (7 oz.)
2 tbsp Creamy Garlic Alfredo Sauce Mix
1/2 cup Powdered Milk
1/2 oz Dried Shiitake Mushrooms
2 tsp Parmesan Cheese
1 1/2 tbsp Salted Butter

Trail Fill-Up: Chicken Alfredo Directions

  1. At-Home Prep:
  2. Combine the alfredo sauce mix and powdered milk in a Ziploc bag-
  3. Add parmesan cheese to a small container, or wrap it in a piece of cellophane-
  4. Put the salted butter in a small container that seals (if it’s warm out, it may melt a little)-
  5. Store the unopened chicken pouch inside a medium Ziploc bag- Add loose angel hair pasta and loose mushrooms to a Ziploc bag-
  6. Put the sauce mix, cheese, and butter in the Ziploc bag- Seal the Ziploc and admire your future meal-
  7. To Cook:
  8. In your pot, add 16 oz. of water and the mushrooms together. Turn your stove on for a minute to warm up the water, and then turn it off. Let the mushrooms sit and rehydrate for 5 minutes.-
  9. Add the pasta to the pot, leaving the mushrooms to continue rehydrating. Turn the stove back on for about 3 minutes, until the pasta is done.- When the pasta is done, drain 4 oz. of the mushroom/pasta water into the Ziploc bag with your alfredo sauce mix. Swish the water around, so the mix gets creamy. [As a tip, always use less water than you think you need. You can always add more water, but you can’t take it out.]-
  10. Drain the rest of the water from the pot.-
  11. Add the chicken, butter, and sauce to the pot, and give everything a stir. Turn the stove on for another minute to warm up the chicken.-
  12. Boom! Your Trail Alfredo Chicken is complete. Add parmesan cheese to the meal to taste.

They're not just moving spaces; they're carrying forward the dreams of over 50 local creators.
