Taste was just OK, boring mild sauce
Great: lower salt, tender chicken Con: Chipolte sauce not spicy enough, rather boring. Other Herdez products (salsas, refrigerated or canned) are tasty and a longtime favorite.

Dinner made easy!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a surprising new take on dinner for our family. I'm not much of a premade or precooked meat person, but this was surprisingly delicious! It was SO easy to grab this and throw together a meal in no time.

What happened?
This used to be delicious, it looks like they changed it from shredded chicken to chopped chicken and is not very good. Too bad, it was so good before.

Disappointed
I'm really disappointed in the recipe change. I loved the version I had a few months ago, but when I bought it recently the sauce was more oily, saltier, and had a very different flavor. The chicken was less shredded as well. Please return to the previous version.

A delicious, tasty, fast and easy meal
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this as part of a sample campaign, and was eager to try it because this type of chipotle flavored chicken is one of my favorite dishes. I was very pleasantly surprised. The meat was nice and tender, flavor was delicious, and not overly salty like other prepared meals. As someone who needs to keep an eye on sodium intake, that is always pleasing. This will certainly be added to my meal rotation, and I can't wait to try the other flavors too.

It will do if you're in a pinch
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product has good flavor but of course nothing tastes as good as homemade food. But it does work when you just need to eat something really quick. I used it for tacos and it worked out good

Personally not for me.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Personally this product isn't for me. Taste is ok but I feel like it could use more flavor.

Easy and delicious!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you're looking for an easy meal shortcut, the HERDEZ Shredded Chicken in Mild Chipotle Sauce is a solid go-to. The chicken is surprisingly tender right out of the package, and the mild chipotle sauce hits that perfect sweet spot—it has a great smoky flavor without being overwhelmingly spicy. It's super convenient for throwing together quick tacos, enchiladas, or burrito bowls when you just don't have the time or energy to cook from scratch. The 15 oz size is the perfect amount for a quick dinner or meal-prepping a few lunches for the week. Definitely a great pantry staple to have on standby!

Great quick easy meal option
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a busy mom of 3 who works full time and is in school full time. Quick meals are a necessity. I tried the Herdez Shredded Chicken in mild chipotle sauce for a quick dinner. Heating it up is very quick and easy. Just needs a few minutes in the microwave. It took longer for me to cook the rice and beans that I paired with it. I warmed up some tortillas and put out some cheese and sour cream and dinner was done. The chicken had a nice smokey flavor to it. It tasted like it had been cooking all day. Even my youngest daughter (10 yrs old) enjoyed it. She's normally iffy about new things. After one bite, she decided to grab another tortilla for a 2nd one. Because of it's quick nature, this was highly appealing for me and my family. It's a bonus that it actually tastes good too. I can't wait to try their other varieties that I saw in the store when I got this one.

This is just ok
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The chicken was very fatty and it had a lot of basically unflavored sauce. I had to add my own seasonings.

Delicious!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Herdez never lets me down! It's super easy to whip up and tastes amazing for a weeknight dinner or even a lunch. The chicken is incredibly tender and flavorful. Plus, it's so simple to make, which is a huge plus. It's perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a quick lunch. I'm definitely buying it again. I've already shared it with my family and friends, and even where to get it.

Problem with texture
I feel the chicken is too mushy. I have tried the Al Pastor and the texture is more chunky.

Great flavorful option for tacos
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried the HERDEZ Shredded Chicken in Mild Chipotle Sauce and was pleasantly surprised. The flavor is really solid—smoky with just a little kick, but definitely still on the mild side, so it's approachable for most people. The chipotle adds depth without overpowering the dish. The chicken itself is tender and well-shredded, which makes it super convenient. It's basically ready to heat and eat, which is perfect for quick meals. I used it for tacos and it worked great—just warmed it up and added toppings. A couple of small downsides: the texture can be slightly soft (borderline mushy depending on how you heat it), and I wish there was just a bit more sauce for extra flavor. Also, if you like bold spice, this may be too mild. Overall, it's a really convenient, tasty option for busy nights. I'd definitely keep this on hand for easy tacos, bowls, or even a quick protein add-in.

Not bad for a quick meal!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would probably choose this again in a lazy pinch. I made homemade crunch wraps with it and I think it turned out tasty! It was a tad salty, but that's kinda part of all these things. Good protein content and a decent amount for the price.

Yummy and so so easy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so glad I took the chance in getting this Herdez shredded chicken in chipotle sauce. It is extremely flavorful and comforting; but also quite versatile. It will most absolutely be my go to for busy nights, especially when the kids are playing their sports and have practice. This one container was easy to warm up and add to some tortilla chips and top with a salad. The chipotle sauce was not overpowering at all. It added an extra flavor component that we usually don't have. I can think of so many other ways of being able to use this shredded chicken. I love that all the work is already done for me and cleanup is a breeze.

I would buy this again!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Heated up very well. Did not taste dry or too salty. I finish the portion sizes were slightly larger tho as I am a bigger fella. But all and all I'd buy this again

It was okay….
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I truly stepped outside of my comfort zone with this product. I have never purchased this type of pre-seasoned- heat and serve meat. I was very nervous trying it but tonight was Taco night and I used it as an alternate to our typical ground beef. With that being said, the meat was well seasoned; however, it did leave a dry after taste. It was filling and satisfied our stomachs for the night. It was very easy to prepare 2-3 minutes in the microwave with a short cooldown before serving. There was also an option to prepare in the oven. Would we try it again? No, but I am glad I stepped outside of my comfort zone and gave it a chance.
