I spotted this Trader
Joe’s Roasted Rosemary Boneless Chicken Breast with Wild Rice Pilaf in the
prepared foods section of my local Trader Joe’s and was intrigued. It looked
good, it sounded good, so I decided to give it a shot. I had it in the fridge for a few days, and then
decided on having it for lunch with a small side salad.
I pierced the film and put it into the microwave, took it
out when it was done and measured out my serving. I initially raised an eyebrow at the chicken
and realized the skin was still on it. Now, I don’t eat skin on any meat so it
grossed me out just a bit –but I ended up pulling the skin off and chucking it
in the garbage. Granted the removal of the skin would lower the points and
calories, but since I wasn’t able to recalculate I left it as is. The meal was quite filling with a small side
salad. The chicken was moist and the
pilaf was delicious and packed with flavor and vegetables. It was one of the
better heat and eat rice pilafs I have had.
Price wise these come in at right below $6, which truly isn’t
bad for a convenience meal for two people.
A serving is half the container (255 grams), which is 310 calories or 8
points plus values.
QUESTION:
What is one of your favorite prepared meal at a grocery
chain?
My dghter-in-law buys me this, and due to my small appetite, I am able to divide it into 3 meals
ReplyDeleteBut the real reason I am writing this comment is because I am ADDICTED to this!!! I could eat it every day, but don't, because I know a variety of food is better,/healthier, but I do eat this 3Xs a week. It's a great source of weight control too.
