Chicken Adobo

What is it?

A 10.2-ounce frozen meal, built around braised dark meat chicken in a soy-vinegar sauce, comes with jasmine rice and roasted garlic on the side. Garlic, black pepper, and bay leaf round out the sauce, while the chicken is cooked until tender in the package. In Trader Joe’s lineup, this sits closer to the brand’s other single-serve rice bowls than to its stir-fry meals. It heats from frozen in the microwave, so the rice and chicken are already portioned together and ready in minutes.
