I love to eat! To anyone that knows me this is not a revelation. The problem is that I love to eat wonderful tasting, fully satisfying, delicious food and, more often than not, that means the food in question is fattening. Since I am a chronic Weight Watcher, this is a problem for me.Therefore, when I find something that is indeed fully satisfying and delicious AND, as an extra added bonus, it’s not overly fattening, I am a very happy camper. I have found just such a food and I’m here today to tell you about it.
We eat a LOT of chicken at my house, simply because as a WW queen, chicken and fish are better for me than a good rib eye steak. As a result, I’m always looking for new and interesting ways to prepare or buy chicken.It’s not enough that the chicken tastes good and is low in fat and calories, it has to be easy to fix too or I’m not real interested. I do like to cook, but somehow, the older I get, the more I like to make reservations instead of making dinner.
Therefore, when I saw this package, I stopped and gave it a second look. The lady was cooking up the patties (Costco is famous for their samples) and offered me a bite. I gave it the sniff test (it smelled great) and then read the box…….
Hmmmmm, chicken….already cooked….full of veges…..just brown and serve….I’m trying it. And Omigod, it was wonderful!! I mean truly write home to mother, skip around the room, dance a little jig, wonderful. It is tasty and juicy and satifying, well-seasoned and flavorful, and I just can’t rave enough about it. I immediately threw a box into my cart and made a note that we now have a new chicken staple at my house.It is extra good grilled over charcoal or just spray a little Pam in the frying pan and toss in your patty. It can also be cooked in the microwave, but I like a little brown on my meat, if you know what I mean! Brown it up, hot it up and you are good to go. Nuke a little baked potato and some steamed fresh veges or throw together a nice salad (or both) and you have dinner in just a very few minutes. We also like to take these patties and make delicious hot chicken sandwiches. They too are wonderful!
They are conveniently packaged in twos, and they come in a box of 8 patties all ready to pop in the freezer. I bought these at Costco but I saw the same patties under a different brand name at Trader Joe’s. Haven’t tried the Trader Joe version yet, but they look very similar. If you don’t have either of these stores in your town, ask your super market manager to order and carry this product. You’ll like it!!

Gosh when I was single, these would have been fabulous! Ya know, back when I spent $25/week on groceries. I'll give them a whirl and let you know what I think!
OMG, spinach and cheese dip is my favorite and combine it with chicken and it sounds FABULOUS. I have written down the name of these and will check the groceries here in Lexington. I wish we had a Trader Joe's here - bloggers are always writing about their great food!
Yummy+Easy=on my list. I try to keep quickie stuff in the freezer for those nights when I'm too tired or just don't feel like cooking. If I have nothing quick and simple on hand, we eat fast food or take-out, which is bad for us and bad for our budget.
I'll look for these. Thanks!
