Quick Dinner: La Choy Creations (Product Review)

There are days when a Mom just doesn’t have the time, ingredients or energy to prepare a full home-cooked meal. That’s when having a “meal in a box” in your pantry comes in handy! I always have a couple for those days.

I received a sample of the new La Choy Creations Sweet & Sour Chicken. OK cool – I remember my Mom making the La Choy Chow Mein and remembered liking it back in the day (ahhh, the treat of those little crunchy noodles – I loved them!).

The La Choy Creations Sweet & Sour Chicken was super easy-peasy to make: cook some cubed chicken breasts, add the ingredients from the box (sauce & rice) and simmer. HELLO – can it get any easier?

Served with sugar snap peas and carrots, my boys (Hubby & Little Dude) loved it. I liked it too, especially since I spent a whole 20 minutes in the kitchen cooking. And it made a lot – Hubby had enough for two left-over-lunches that he said re-heated very well.

The other two things I like about  the meal was 1) the sauce really tasted like a Chinese restaurant’s sweet & sour sauce and 2) no MSG.
