Trader Joe's is taking its fan-favorite BBQ Teriyaki Chicken and serving it up in a whole new way with the debut of its new Teriyaki Chicken Bowl.
Offering the delicious taste of the brand's BBQ Teriyaki Chicken, but now in a complete meal format, Trader Joe's new Teriyaki Chicken Bowl is a perfect option for busy weekdays. The bowl starts with chunks of tender, dark chicken thigh meat, which is marinated in a Teriyaki sauce made up of ginger, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and sugar. The meat is then paired with Calrose rice, broccoli, carrots, and bok choy before it's frozen. That means that all you need to do is heat the bowl up in the microwave and dinner or lunch is served.
