Chicken pieces and rice sit in an aged cheddar cheese sauce inside a 12-ounce frozen bowl. At 360 calories and 18 grams of protein, it follows the familiar chicken-and-rice format, but the cheese is the main variable here. Aged cheddar usually reads sharper and more pronounced than mild cheddar, so the sauce has more edge than a basic cream sauce. Inside the Marie Callender's lineup, it sits with the brand's other single-serve bowls and entrees built around sauce, starch, and protein. The rice takes on the cheese sauce as it heats, while the chicken stays in small, distributed pieces rather than one large cut.
