Jimmy Dean Delights--Southwest Style Grilled Chicken

I got a coupon for a free Jimmy Dean Delights frozen entree from Jimmy Dean through BzzAgent.  (Actually, I got 2 coupons and bought 2 different ones, but this is the review of the first one I tried…the second one will come later, after I try it….so come back to see THAT review!).  I chose the Southwest Style Grilled Chicken one because I love 2 other frozen entree brands' versions of this and I thought this could compare to those.

The entree has 250 calories, which is acceptable for me for a lunch portion.  There are also 18 grams of protein in it (which I do not really pay attention to how much protein I eat, but my husband does when he works out), so all of you weigh lifters and athletes who like protein, this would be a great lunch for you.  There is, however quite a bit of sodium in it, just like any processed meal--there are 560 mg (which is 23% daily value).

I had my Jimmy Dean Delights Southwest Style Grilled Chicken for lunch.  I am a teacher and have only 30 minutes for lunch (including phone call, bathroom, and copy time) so I need a quick fix meal.  This took about 5 minutes to cook.

It tasted great!  It seems like the chicken is actually real chicken, not like some of the other brands of frozen entrees.  The vegetables are cut into pretty big sized chunks, so if you have to pick out the green peppers (like I do) they are easy to take out!  (Did I mention that I am a super-picky eater?).  There is a good amount of each ingredient in the bowl--just enough beans, just enough chicken, rice, etc.)  I can't say the meal filled me up, but it was a great lunch-sized portion.

I recommend this for anyone who wants a meal that is quick and easy to count calories with!  It came in a bowl that you can wash and re-use (just not for eating purposes).  I will use the bowl in my classroom to hold beads or buttons.
