Product Review: Asian Helper Chicken Fried Rice

After my diagnosis, I naturally subscribed to quite a few blogs that specifically address gluten sensitivities. Thanks to these blogs I'm able to keep up with current market trends and new products introduced into the mainstream grocery stores. That's how I came to discover General Mills' line of gluten free products (entire list here).

I don't know about you, but it's nice to have easy-to-prepare, one-dish meals lying in wait on the pantry shelf for those nights when there's little time for meal prep. So the last time I was in my neighborhood grocery, I scanned the shelves for the latest gluten-free offerings from Hamburger Helper. We tried the Chicken Fried Rice first.

Everything is in the box. Just add chicken, egg, and water. I bought boneless, skinless chicken breast tenders to save even more on prep time. Dice those puppies up and throw them in the pan, and you're ready to go in a jiffy. The directions were simple to follow. One word of advice, though, I used an egg substitute rather than a real egg. I think a real egg might actually be better for this recipe to give you more of an "authentic" fried rice dish. But the egg substitute wasn't bad.

All in all, I'd give the Asian Helper Chicken Fried Rice two thumbs up - it was easy to prepare and very tasty.
