I tried one of the Hormel Chicken & Rice over this past weekend.

1. Definitely not enough to be filling by itself.
2. The taste is VERY salty.
3. More syrupy than I would have expected for chicken & rice.

Of the ones I found at Walmart, chicken & rice has similar salt to the other Hormel Completes except for the Beef Stew which has even more.
