Chicken skewers, from freezer straight to grill!
Another favorite from the summer Trader Joe’s items, these grilled chimichurri chicken thigh skewers are so good and best of all–so easy! I’ve been trying to up my protein and a quick way to add some to a meal while having it taste amazing is a perfect find. Was unsure at first, how do these go from freezer to grill? Can they really be good? All fears melted away fast as the smell and look of these as they cook is even amazing. better then if I bought chicken, marinated it, skewered, and cooked it myself. These are just great.
How do they stack nutrition wise?
Pretty damn great! Serving size is 2, theres 6 in the box so enough for 3 meals. I did serve three together (upping protein) and it was perfect for a dinner for two. Sodium and cholesterol are high, but these are frozen chicken thighs. The ingredients are very simple and the fact that you can go from frozen to cooked so fast make these great for when you forget to defrost/prep but want real food. Can be cooked on the grill, in the oven, or in the microwave and all from frozen to cooked in under 12 minuets. I used my ninja foodie grill inside and loved the results.
Frozen to cooked in 10 minuets :0
Look at that! In 10 minuets! My mind was blown! They come ready to go, would have liked the skewers to be a little longer so picking them up was easier, but its fine. They came in a plastic bag, took them out while the grill preheated and they were ready to go. I did 4 minuets on each side and the results are on the right<3 Perfect juice chicken kabobs! The sauce stays on them and magically they came out perfect with little to no effort at all.
A thing of beauty
Paired with white rice and green beans and had a perfect meal. The chimichurri sauce could pack a little more punch for my taste, but it was still good. The chicken was hot and juicy, you’d have no idea it was frozen just 10 minuets ago. The speed to have real food is the biggest win with these, they cost a little more then I thought they should–but can see why with how quick they cook. Paying for the convince and its worth its sometimes. This is my second time having these already and will be getting them again, 9/10. A little more powerful sauce or a little cheaper and it would have been perfect.
