You can imagine the questionable looks I received at checkout. "That girl must love chicken" was likely on the minds of everyone. Once home, I cooked the products according to the package directions, sampled them, and judged each based on flavor, texture, and nutrition. Stuffed with yummy protein, I ranked the chicken from my least favorite to what I preferred. Everything was tasty, but those at the top had the best taste, texture, and nutritional profile.

Whether you're looking to change up your weeknight dinner options or just craving some comfort food, orange chicken can be the perfect answer. A sweet and zesty classic, it's one of the tastiest, and simplest, crowd-pleasers you can get your hands on. And although it's a dish that's often associated with takeout joints ( and Trader Joe's), it's actually really easy to recreate at home. All you need are three core ingredients to make a streamlined version that's equal parts delicious, affordable, and fast.

Cooking frozen chicken requires special consideration of time and temperature. It’s crucial to bake at a normal temperature, but extend the cooking time for thorough heating.
