Cuban Style Chicken Bowl (Meal Prep Hack!)

 

Trader Joe’s Cuban-style bowl from is already packed with bold citrus-garlic flavor, but with a few simple add-ons, it becomes even better.

We’ve added chicken for protein, fire roasted bell peppers & onions for extra fiber, avocado for healthy fats, and cilantro for a bright, herby finishing touch.

Adding fresh ingredients to a favorite TJ’s frozen item keeps things simple while still giving you a balanced, satisfying meal. Plus, it makes two servings so you can save one for tomorrow! This method helps you stay consistent without overthinking it.
