The Good Kitchen - Red Chili Chicken with Black Bean and Corn Salsa

Flavor

I loved this! Ate every. single. bite. The chicken was well seasoned and the corn and black bean salsa was a great complement. It was a pretty good sized portion, although, like I said, I didn't have any trouble at all finishing the whole thing. This was a winner!

Ingredients

This dish came in at only 374 calories. The ingredients were pretty much just chicken, black beans and corn plus all of the seasoning and a few extras such as red bell pepper and red onion. Super clean ingredient list - keeps it simple while also offering a variety of some protein, some beans, some veggies. Again, with this dish the cholesterol freaks me out a little at 49% of daily value - seems to maybe be a consistent issue with the chicken thigh dishes?? It was also a little high in sodium for my liking at 37% of daily value. But overall, I think the good outweighs the bad on these minor issues.

Cost

My subscription is for 10 meals a week for $130, but I had a $20 off reward that made my shipment $110 - so $11/meal.

Will I Re-Order?

Definitely, yes! This will be a great addition to my mix of meals.

The Good Kitchen - Jerk Chicken with Pineapple Cauliflower Rice

Flavor

Spicy!! Woah!! The Jerk spices were in full effect! The sweetness of the pineapple added some balance to the spice and the texture of the cauliflower rice was perfect. I didn't necessarily think it was rice, but was still a nice touch.

Ingredients

This dish came in at a surprising 549 calories. I was shocked by this! Considering it was pretty much just chicken and cauliflower, I would have expected the calorie count to have been much lower. I see the ingredient list includes some olive oil and perhaps they used a generous amount which resulted in a little higher overall calorie count. I am also blown away at the cholesterol! 97% of daily value??? From what??? This really puzzles me. And the sodium?? 57% of daily value?? Ok, this is enough for me to downgrade this meal to a 3 fork rating aka will not be re-ordering. What a bummer!

Cost

​My subscription is for 10 meals a week for $130, but I had a $20 off reward that made my shipment $110 - so $11/meal.

Will I Re-Order?

Nope. Disappointed by the calorie count and some of the nutrition facts this time around. Not worth it for this dish!

The Good Kitchen - Shepherd's Pie

Flavor

Simple yet indulgent! This felt like a hearty, comfort food meal. It was flavorful and filling. A real delight!

Ingredients

This dish came in at 348 calories. The ingredient list was super simple - and used cauliflower for the mashed "potato" effect without the heaviness of potatoes! The saturated fat was a little high at 51% of daily value, but I guess that's what comes with ground beef! This dish is also Whole30 approved, so if you are in need of easy Whole30 meals to keep on hand, this would be a good one!

Cost

My subscription is for 10 meals a week for $130, but I had a $20 off reward that made my shipment $110 - so $11/meal.

Will I Re-Order?

Definitely yes! This is a great meal to add to the mix!

The Good Kitchen - Traditional Chicken Salad

Flavor

The flavor on this was pretty good! It had very large chunks of chicken - which I wasn't in love with. I would have preferred smaller chicken bites or even shredded chicken. That being said, it was still pretty good. If you are in the mood for chicken salad, I think this would satisfy you!

Ingredients

This came in at a little over 600 calories for the WHOLE PACKAGE. This was a HUGE portion of chicken salad. It could have easily served 2 people. I think I only used 1/3 of the package on a piece of toast, just because I really didn't want to eat the chicken salad plain. In hindsight, I think this would have been excellent with a tomato and turned it into more of a "stuffed tomato" dish. I guess I could have cut or shredded the chunks of chicken up a little as well. 

Cost

Will I Re-Order?

Definitely! Although next time, I think I will turn this dish into more of a "stuffed tomato" by adding a whole tomato and then cutting or shredding the chunks of chicken up a little as well. Then, this would be perfect!

The Good Kitchen - Coconut Curry Salmon with Za'atar Cauliflower Rice

Flavor

This dish was pretty good. I loved the salmon and the za'atar cauliflower rice - minus the raisins. I'm not a big raisin fan, but was willing to give this dish a try just to add variety to my meal selection and try something new. If it weren't for the raisins, I may have loved this dish, but they were a little overbearing for my taste and hard to avoid. 

Ingredients

This dish came in at 480 calories. It had 36 grams of protein and 29 grams of fat - probably mostly due to the salmon. The sodium was a little higher than usual at 40% of daily value and the sugar was higher than I usually like to see at 12 grams - probably mostly due to the raisins. Overall, not bad though and the ingredient list is still pretty clean.

Cost

​My subscription is for 10 meals a week for $130, but I had a $20 off reward that made my shipment $110 - so $11/meal. The reward system is NEW for The Good Kitchen, and so far, it looks like it offers some really great perks! I have had some trouble applying my reward codes to my order, but I'm hoping that gets smoothed out as they adjust to their new system. In the meantime, customer service has been very helpful in applying the codes for me.

Will I Re-order?

Probably not. I'm just not a fan of raisins and there were too many in this dish for me!
