Kroger has introduced some new recipes to their Prep+Pared line and they continue to be delicious and easy to prepare.
I recently tried their Athena’s Lemon Chicken Saute that took minutes to prepare and made a delicious and light dinner.

Easy Prep+Pared Meals.
We are back into the swing of back to school, and the relaxing long days of summer are fading in our rearview mirror. With our days busier than ever and become shorter by the minute making a healthy dinner for our family is tough.
With the decline of the American home cooked meal I think all of us feel like there is a need for options to help make dinnertime possible on a limited time schedule.
Kroger has made it easier for all of us! With their Prep+Pared designed to deliver the ingredients necessary to prepare a meal for two in about 20 minutes.
Several months ago Kroger introduced prepared meal kits Prep+Pared. The meal kits offered several different meal options with fresh ingredients that were already prepped and ready to cook.
They just introduced several new recipes to give us even more delicious healthy options to feed our families and ourselves.
Each box comes with all the ingredients you need, already prepared for you, minus a few pantry staples like olive oil, salt and pepper.
There is a list of kitchen tools you will need, such as skillet, bowls, cutting board, etc. There is very little clean up, and the instructions are clear and precise so no need to worry if you are new to cooking.
Next time you are at your local Kroger store pick up one of their easy and convenient Prep+Pared meals: chicken, pork, fish or vegetarian. There is always a choice that suits you and yours!
