Only Canned Chicken without Sodium Phosphate
It's the only canned chicken without Sodium Phosphate. Rosemary oil is used as a preservative instead. It also has a very good flavor and can be eaten right out of the can.

Good chicken, large chunks
Very good chicken! Nice large chunks, and very tasty. A fair amount of broth, which sometimes the cats get as a treat, or I use to boost a soup or another chicken dish I might make. Will buy again and again and again!

Still Packed in Broth?
I love this canned chicken, which is the only brand I can find that is packed in chicken broth. The water-packed brands are dry. The cans I'm seeing now are packed in water now. Have you gone water-packed? If so, I'll stop buying Valley Fresh brand and you now are exactly like all other brands.

I brought a 10 oz can of your chicken breast. After I drain the water it was about 2oz of chic.

yes
i am very happy with this product. i keep buying it and it is consistently good. i make chicken salad sandwiches when the weather is too hot to cook in the kitchen. then today it was cooler and i made chicken soup, it was delicious. i love the fact its already cooked and ready to use. plus the broth makes it great for soups. it is certified by american heart association to be heart healthy which is great as i watch my salt intake.

Recommended Emergency Rations - great quality years later!
I had added this product as a protein source to my "earthquake" emergency pantry 10 years ago. I dice the meat smaller and use it in sandwiches, soups, and casseroles, and it's been a monthly staple for decades. Now I find with the lockdowns and fire evacuations, I've been relying more and more on my emergency stores to make complete meals. This is an item that I failed to rotate with new purchases. I was pleasantly surprised to find that, after 10 years in storage, this product was just as good as freshly purchased cans. The meat had not degraded in texture, color, or taste. I love the dark/light mix and will restock with more of these as soon as I can find access to them.

Not as good as other brand
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn't like how broken down into tiny pieces the chicken was. It looked very strange when I opened the can. If kids saw it, they would not have eaten it. Too much water.

Outrageous flavor
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was truly blown away by the incredible flavor packed in Valley Fresh 100% Natural White & Dark Chicken can. Enjoyed using the natural chicken pieces as they were perfectly sized and juicy, nice to cook with. Will continue sharing and recommending Valley Fresh canned Chicken.

Not my 1st choice.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This white and dark chicken tasted a little weird. Hard to pinpoint the exact word to describe the taste but my kids loved it. Definitely not my first choice. I added this to a bed of lettuce with mayo and tomatoes. Maybe I should have repurposed it better.

I would buy again for chicken salad.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a good canned chicken to put in chicken salad. I prefer white meat chicken if it is canned, but this was not gristly or bad at all. Good to mix into a salad or a dish with other items.

Nice item for recipes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually don't like dark meat chicken, but the combination or dark and white meat tasted good. I mixed some barbeque sauce in with the chicken, quickly heated it and put it on a bun for a quick bbq chicken sandwich. The chicken was a bit on the salty side, but added to the bbq sauce it tasted very savory. I would prefer to use the white meat chicken, but would use this again.

Yes I would probably buy this product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I plan on using this product in a sandwich just like the one on this can. It looks delicious. I like that it is 97% fat free and has minimal ingredients without all those chemicals and fillers.

I'm not a fan of dark chicken
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a free can of Valley Fresh 100% Natural White & Dark Meat Chicken from Viewpoints, in exchange for my honest review. Although I really like the Valley Fresh Brand, I wasn't real fond of this particular flavor. I'm not a big fan of dark meat. Although I can say, this did have a pretty good flavor and texture for dark meat.

Since I prefer white meat, I would not buy this one again.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am not usually a fan of dark meat chicken, but this was actually pretty good. I mixed it with scrambled eggs and cheese and used it as a filling for a breakfast burrito.

I probably will buy this again
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tasted good with gravy over mashed potatoes. The only thing I was not.pleased with is that there was only one chunk of dark meat. Other than that we were happy

would try again
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Versatile product. The blend of white and dark meat was good for a more flavorful chicken salad. It would also work well for soups or casseroles. Not sure what's meant by the "100% natural" label though. Not as salty as other canned chicken products.
