Kroger Lunch

Thank goodness for BzzAgent and Kroger for saving the day again.
This Friday morning I redeemed my free coupons for a Kroger Skillet Meal of Chicken Fajitas and a Fresh Selections Salad with the Bacon Buttermilk Variety. 
I was just using the coupons because they were free.  However, I was pleasantly surprised that my lunch turned out to be very tasty and probably better for me than I imagined.

I took home the Kroger Skillet Chicken Fajita Meal and put it 1 tablespoon of oil and cooked it for 8 minutes.  I used a pot instead of a skillet which is why the veggies were more mushy than expected.  If I had used a saucepan they probably would be more tender.
It seemed to be a simple packet of chicken and veggies. However, when I added the spice packet, it whole meal seemed to come together. I don't know what they spices were but they transformed the plain chicken. Fortunately, it wasn't too spicy. I do not like a lot of spice and this was perfect.
The package includes some small tortillas to go with the meal. It says to defrost them for 5 minutes but it may take a little longer than that. Mine took about 10 to completely thaw.
There was enough there for my lunch on Friday and Saturday.
I also added the Kroger Fresh Selections Buttermilk Bacon Salad.  In my opinion, it was the perfect accompaniment.  The lettuce was fresh and crisp and the croutons were crunchy and flavorful.  Plus, the bacon was actual bacon. I was expecting the hard crunchy things that are usually found at salad bars.  Nope, this was much better.
I have some pictures that I will add when I get to my other computer.
Bottom line.....Would I buy this meal again.  Absolutely. It was fast, good, and well worth purchasing.
