The rosemary and salt were overwhelming and the chicken was dry and very chewy…

The chicken tasted great and I was unsure about the brown rice but it was delicious! And great price at $6.99.

Love this dish, great to take to work. The chicken is tender and the rice is packed full of flavors.

One of our favorites. Although the chicken is a bit overdone, which makes it rather dry, the rice mixture is excellent — delicious! Please consider offering this rice in the three-pack frozen section. It would be a wonderful standby for assembling a quick meal.

I don’t think this is chicken breast I think it is compressed chicken food.
It is good but overpriced if I am correct about the chicken.
The guys at my store told me I was wrong but ingredients in parentheses tell the story.

The chicken was perfectly cooked and had exactly the right texture, like a fresh chicken breast. The flavor of the chicken and the rice blend was amazing. This will be a new staple in my freezer from now on! It is enough for 2 meals, too, so that is a heck of a good deal.

I found the rice to be the star of this plate. Unfortunately the chicken had such a weird crunchy texture that we couldn’t even eat it. Will stick to making my own.

This would be great if it weren’t for the darned chilies!!! I notice chilies in just about all formerly “American” foods. Maybe Americans are becoming needful of exagerrated “flavor” in foods. Kinda like adding chocolate syrup and chocolate chips to chocolate ice-cream. Damn! How decadent does everything have to be. What I do when I buy it is I pick through it to rid it of all the red pieces before cooking. Wish they would put all these chilies to one side of the container to make them easier to remove. Chilies don’t add “flavor;” they simply burn your mouth. In Puerto Rico, we simply put hot sauce on the table- NOT in the food. Just sayin’

My daughter bought 2 of these dinners for me. I thought the chicken was tender and moist, suprising for skinless chicken breast, the rice was good, perfectly paired with chicken. The thing i didn’t like the dinner was the overwhelming use and taste of rosemary, it needs to be toned down, i like rosemary, i prefer to use it a little more sparingly.

It was tasty, but the chicken was overdone and the rosemary is a little too strong. I would eat it again, but won’t go out of my way to buy it.

Wow, wasn’t expecting this to be THAT good. Chicken was so tender (cuts with a fork). Rice flavorable. (I always add tons of pepper to every dish). I’ll try it again and see if this product consistently has tender chicken or if I was just lucky this first time.

I bought this for the first time a few days ago and I have mixed feelings about it.
A few of the chicken pieces were a little rubbery but the rest were decent. The flavor was decent and there was a mild underlying spiciness. The rice is pretty good and there is a good balance between the amounts of chicken and rice.
My biggest issue is the amount of salt and the rosemary. I love rosemary, which is why I bought this, but it was so dominant along with the saltiness. Together the sodium flavor was overwhelming for me. If they reduced both, it would be much better in my opinion.

I’ve loved this meal for years. Don’t think it’s too salty at all. Just went to my local TJs & they didn’t have it, so am hoping that’s not a permanent change.

The chicken is dry as you would expect but also it’s probably the most solid choice among all the ready to eat stuff for because it at least won’t make you feel like completely gross shit if you eat it.
