Would you look at that it’s chicken, finally! I feel like it’s been a really long time since I’ve had any chicken (the tunachicken in that first quesadilla doesn’t count). Unfortunately, this was chicken thigh, which I don’t like as much as breast (definitely a breast girl, me).

I kind of wish they had done a bed of rice under the chicken and then put the veggies in the small side spot - it would’ve worked out better. I ended up cooking everything up like this, then switching the veggies to the small spot & putting the rice and sauce under the chicken. The rice was really good, and microwaved well. The grilled chicken was decent considering it was thigh meat. The sauce was nice, but definitely not gingery enough. The broccoli was good but needed a little something, as did the cherry tomatoes (they ended up just being like stewed tomatoes, which is kind of gross) so I put some olive oil and some spices in there and they were much better.

with fresh chives

Yeah, it’s chicken breast again - but this makes me very happy, cause I still miss all the chicken breast. This was a really tasty dish, far better than I expected it to be. You could actually taste the lemon! And the noodles were really good - tasted almost like fresh pasta, and far better than the spiral pasta from the earlier pasta salad I had. I like capers (OK I like anything pickled, really but capers are awesome) so this added a great texture to everything. Chicken was a little bit on the chewy side - however, this is another one that I had to freeze and defrost because they were almost immediately outdated as soon as I received them. This actually ended up being a really great meal.

with pico de gallo.

This was a pretty big burrito - I was actually a little surprised at the size and did a full three minutes in the microwave just to make sure that it got heated all the way through. This is also one that I had frozen because they were all expiring so soon so it did heat up a little differently, but that didn’t matter too much. It was a pretty tasty burrito. It was packed full of pork - so, so much pork, it ended up being very heavy. There was also rice in there, too, which added to it being very heavy. The pico de gallo was great, but there was not definitely not enough, so I ended up adding some more of our favorite Safeway chunky salsa, that helped a lot. I was really hoping that this would be a little bit better but the texture of the carnitas really got to me - it was too much and too fatty. I ended up only eating maybe a quarter of it, thankfully my husband enjoyed it so he got to finish the rest.

with roasted mushrooms and mozzarella.

I’m not sure what a quesabirria* is, but this was really hella tasty! It had a really dark beef that tasted like a really good, moist pot roast and combined with the mozzarella cheese and mushrooms? It was absolutely amazing. The texture of the flour tortilla (was it deep fried or something!!) after microwaving was a little gummy, but that’s kind of to be expected. It came with a red sauce (broth?) of some kind, that I really didn’t like the texture of, and it seemed to be a little too spicy for me - so I tasted it, but then skipped the rest. This would be amazing with some pico de gallo or even just some salsa.

with cilantro rice and fresh guacamole

Finally, some damn chicken breast! This is what I’m talking about. This had a really nice basmati rice that I loved. And more of that corn and black bean salsa with some pico de gallo. The “fresh” guacamole wasn’t exactly fresh (as this had technically expired by the time I got to it) and was starting to turn brown but that’s avocado for you! The chicken was really flavorful and there was a lot of it. Everything was on a bed of fresh spinach which I really liked a lot (yes, mom - I finally grew into spinach. Spinch is one of my favorites now!). And for whatever reason, there seemed to be a ton of everything in this one - I maybe ate a third of it for lunch and another third for dinner, so my husband got to try it out as well and he really enjoyed it. This was would definitely have been a winner if it wasn’t so close dated.

with corn-black bean salsa and pepper jack cheese.

Oh yay, more chicken thigh (ugh)! And a lot of it at that - I am really not a fan. But the rest of this was really super good. It had a really good brown rice, which is something I do not normally enjoy. The corn and black bean salsa actually made me like black beans for once! And it came with pico de gallo (always a fave) and a cream sauce that was really lovely. The chicken itself needed more barbecue sauce, but honestly nothing was gonna save it. This would’ve been A+ amazing with chicken breast. Thankfully, my husband was there to finish it off for me - he’s not nearly as picky as I am!
