An 11-ounce frozen bowl built around chopped marinated chicken thigh over turmeric rice, with black beans, sweet plantain pieces, diced red bell pepper, onions, cilantro, and a citrus-garlic mojo criollo sauce. It’s a Cuban-style take on the chicken-and-rice format, with dark meat instead of breast and a rice base that’s stained yellow with turmeric. Trader Joe’s packages the components together in one tray, so the sauce, chicken, and rice heat at the same time in the microwave. Compared with other bowls in the lineup, this one leans on citrus, garlic, and plantain for its flavor profile rather than cream or cheese.
