This is pretty darn good for being a microwave meal!! I’m impressed. My son and I ate a sample at TJ’S and he was sold! I think this will be a constant in my fridge. It comes in handy on a busy day.

We didn’t microwave it. Used the oven method and absolutely loved it. Will definitely buy again.

So, So Good!! Delicious and definitely a must have. Perfect for those nights I just don’t want to cook and don’t want fast food.

The best item I’ve ever had from TJs and of course they stopped selling it, at least in my store.

I bought this often but eventually became aware it is pretty high in sodium so I stopped buying. I was eating the entire thing myself which was probably too much. For 2 though I’d recommend in a second. Sounds like it may be discontinued but I’m sure it will come back.

This is fantastic. It was a weekly meal at our house. Where is it? I hope it isn’t discontinued.

Stopped making and selling. The best pre made meal I have ever eaten from Trader Joe’s. Find another source who is willing to produce and put back into Trader Joe’s

Nasty!! What have you done to this recipe?? This was my favorite ready to eat dinner. I was so excited to see it back in stock after months. What a disappointment. Not sure if the manufacturer changed or maybe I got a bad batch but gross, just gross.

This is not the same product I bought in the past. That was great-this IS NOT! The orzo is some kind of blend like a pasta roni. Everything is grey looking. Very unappetizing. The spinach is overcooked. There is no feta that I could see. Tried it twice in case the first one was a fluke. It was not. Will not buy again.

This new recipe is bad and also very different. It is very bitter and completely overwhelmed by it. Tastes like only burnt spinach.

Definitely a different recipe. No feta cheese and it tasted like it was seasoned with dry onion soup mix. Such a far cry from the yummy original – sad.

First time buying this. Can’t believe people are commenting about the same product. This is literally the most disgusting microwave food I bought from trader joe’s. I’m so disappointed. It just tastes so weird. It’s sour and the smell is unpleasant. I ate the chicken and dump everything else. Is this a food quality problem?

DO NOT BUY! All of the positive reviews are from February 2022 or earlier. The version as of late September 2022 is disgusting. It’s so bitter.

Absolutely vile. It tasted like the spinach and orzo was basically cooked in black and kalamata olive juice. The chicken tasted of it too.

This is one of my favorite type of meals to order from Mediterranean restaurants, but this was bad. The smell and taste is very sour and the only good part about this is the kalamata olives.
EXCEPT THERE WAS A PIT IN ONE OF MY OLIVES! IT BROKE MY CAVITY FILLING! I had eaten at least half of all the 20+ whole kalamata olives in this meal and they were ALL supposed to be pitted.
This slightly edible meal is NOT WORTH BUYING with the risk breaking your damn teeth!

I found myself pleasantly surprised at the quality of this frozen meal. Not only did the chicken reheat well, but the balance of flavors here fet well thought out. The saltiness of the feta, acidity from the lemon, and the bitterness from the olives and spinach balanced everything well. I do think that if you’re someone whose palate leans toward a preference for carbs more subdued cheeses, and few bitter notes, than this might not be for you.

Disgusting. I used to like this meal, but the current iteration is absolutely horrible. The orzo is super salty and sour, and the chicken is completely dry. Went straight to the garbage bin. Yuck.
