Cajun Ranch Chicken Salad

Cajun Ranch Chicken Salad

blackened-spiced chicken with celery, chives & cranberries in a creamy ranch dressing

Our easy-prep, protein packed (47 g) Cajun Ranch Chicken Salad tastes like the chicken-salad dear-ole-Mom used to make — with a cajun kick! It features blackened-spiced diced chicken (cage-free), parmesan cheese, chopped red onion, celery, green bell peppers and slightly sweetened cranberries – tossed with a creamy dressing.

With the equivalent of 1/3 pound of fresh chicken, this hearty lunch can be enjoyed straight from the pouch or paired with a BYO-Bread-product of your choice!

UPDATE for long-time buyers of our Cajun Ranch Chicken Salad - our chef has magicked away the mayonnaise packets and replaced them with her own powdered recipe. Less weight, less mess, less trash but ALL of the same great flavor!

My favorite by a mile. I honestly don’t know what they do down there in Texas but their food wins all the awards in my book.

My favorite by a mile. I honestly don’t know what they do down there in Texas but their food wins all the awards in my book. These are the kind of meals I could actually eat at home. My personal favorites are the All-American Burger Wrap, the Cajun Ranch Chicken Salad, the Texas Mesquite Chicken Salad and the Big’un Burrito. The two drawbacks to Pack-it: Several aren’t that light (the Shepherd’s Cottage Pie weights 10.4oz!) and secondly they aren’t cheap (as a believer in getting what you pay for, I’m alright spending the extra dime). Keep in mind that they make these meals as the orders roll in so be sure to order in advance.

    Just finished 5 day hike. Tried each of the chicken salad meals. They are perfect! 3oz trail weight, 400+ Cal and 40g protein and great tasting! Best part, just add water without heating. Thanks PackitGormet!

    Amazing! Shared this chicken salad with a fellow backpacker while lunching in a mountainside wildflower basin -- Best view and best chicken salad ever! Re-hydrated this while hiking and it worked out great - lunch was ready when we stopped for a break. :-)

    Something in it is not rehydrating and is like eating rocks. Maybe the celery? Anyway, into the trash it went after over 20 minutes of rehydrating at only 2700ft elevation. :(

    This was another item I bought PRE-hike to see the size and taste. Solid one serving and taste was great! Already looking forward to the REAL trip and meal time.

    What a great lunch meal; lot of chicken with some veggies, fruit and dressing. Add some hot sauce to make it a little more interesting. I sometimes think it could use an additional mayo or even better olive oil packet.

    My favorite by a mile. I honestly don’t know what they do down there in Texas but their food wins all the awards in my book. These are the kind of meals I could actually eat at home. My personal favorites are the All-American Burger Wrap, the Cajun Ranch Chicken Salad, the Texas Mesquite Chicken Salad and the Big’un Burrito. The two drawbacks to Pack-it: Several aren’t that light (the Shepherd’s Cottage Pie weights 10.4oz!) and secondly they aren’t cheap (as a believer in getting what you pay for, I’m alright spending the extra dime). Keep in mind that they make these meals as the orders roll in so be sure to order in advance.

      Just finished 5 day hike. Tried each of the chicken salad meals. They are perfect! 3oz trail weight, 400+ Cal and 40g protein and great tasting! Best part, just add water without heating. Thanks PackitGormet!

      Amazing! Shared this chicken salad with a fellow backpacker while lunching in a mountainside wildflower basin -- Best view and best chicken salad ever! Re-hydrated this while hiking and it worked out great - lunch was ready when we stopped for a break. :-)

      Something in it is not rehydrating and is like eating rocks. Maybe the celery? Anyway, into the trash it went after over 20 minutes of rehydrating at only 2700ft elevation. :(

      This was another item I bought PRE-hike to see the size and taste. Solid one serving and taste was great! Already looking forward to the REAL trip and meal time.

      What a great lunch meal; lot of chicken with some veggies, fruit and dressing. Add some hot sauce to make it a little more interesting. I sometimes think it could use an additional mayo or even better olive oil packet.

      Tastes just like fresh deli, and simple prep made Roan Mt even more enjoyable!
