“This is a pretty straightforward meal. You’ll find the Trader Joe’s Grilled Chicken Rice and Veggies meal in the fridge section next to the salads and other foods that only need to be refrigerated. It comes in a convenient plastic clamshell container that is easy to stick in the microwave and heat up. There are two sides the the container. The bigger side has the rice and chicken mixture and the other side has the veggies. There is a lot to be desired here and maybe I didn’t get the memo on this but this was one of the most bland dishes I’ve had from Trader Joe’s in a long time. While there was nothing wrong with it, there was nothing to write home about either. The chicken and rice medley seem like a good combination but there really isn’t much here. There is a good ratio of chicken to rice. (Most of the chicken is hidden under the rice in mine) But the veggies in the side compartment are just raw. It says there is kale in the chicken and rice, but as you can see from the image above, there is very little kale. I thought it was parsley at first but went back and re-read the cover and sure enough it’s kale. I really like kale and wanted more.
But the big disappointment in this whole thing is the “veggies”. They are veggies, that’s for sure, but it’s like half a zucchini, a big ring of red onion, and a whole little yellow pepper. Sure there are grill marks on the vegetables but in 2.5 minutes these veggies were not cooked. I had to take the chicken and rice out and nuke the vegetables again for a couple more minutes until they were cooked a bit. BTW, I know there are some people out there who like big chunks of red onion but not many. Clocking in at a whopping 360 calories (I’m joking here) and it’s not enough for even the smallest people. I could literally eat two of these for dinner. The biggest disappointment was the vegetables and the lack of cooking and flavor. If there was a sauce or something. I might even grab some curry sauce from Trader Joe’s and douse this dish with it before I cook it just for some decent flavor.”
