Not worth the hype or price
I decided to try this before committing to a Factor subscription. The sauce was separated and kind of nasty. Flavor was ok overall. The beans were decent. I normally pay half this price for frozen meals, and this meal just wasn’t good enough to me to justify the price, and not good enough to try again at any price. I’m sure other people would enjoy it, this is just my opinion.

Terrible. I could barely finish this. Far too expensive for such poor taste and quality.

Favorite Factor meal, hands down!!
This one is probably my favorite of all the Factor meals in Target! The chicken is a great portion and very juicy and flavorful. The potatoes are perfectly cooked and the sauce on top is incredible, I would actually buy a separate container of it to put on everything if I could! I loved the peppers and parmesan in the green beans, which were also so flavorful and perfectly complemented the rest of the meal. I also love that this is FRESH and not frozen! I find that a lot of frozen meals taste bland and all the same as each other, but this is so delicious and fresh and flavorful. I will buy this one again and again!

Cook time seems off
The cook time instructions seem way off. My microwave was on high and I think this meal had to be cooked 10 minutes to get internal temp to 165.

Doesn’t taste like the subscription meals at all. The chicken and potatoes are fine, but the vegetables taste like they’ve been pickled for preservation. That’s not pleasant when freshness is the expectation. I’ve had the subscription version of this meal to compare, and I would never buy the Target version ever again.

A little pricey but very good
Surpringly good for a prepared meal, good portion size, quality of the food is great and the flavors are there. I suggest microwaving and then transferring the food to a small pan to finish in the oven, it needs a little browning that a microwave can't do on its own.

The chicken!
The chicken breast in this specific entree is always so good! The cheese sauce is a bit overpowering but the chicken and sides are very good!

Low expectations, but it was delicious!
I honestly had such low expectations because it’s a microwave meal and it doesn’t have any oven instructions so I gave a shot and I really liked it. The chicken even has like a smoked flavor to it and wasn’t dry at all. Would buy again! Also worth mentioning the shelf life on these is reasonable so you’re not scrambling to eat them in 3 days.

As Close to Restaurant quality as you will find
The Factor meals are outstanding. The grilled chicken was juicy and tasty. The Gouda sauce and potatoes were outstanding and the Parmesan green beans were equally good. As close to restaurant quality as you’re going to get. A little pricey but worth it. Hoping Target adds additional entrees.

Factor meals
Eating factor meals daily, actually makes me feel great! At first it was just a tasty meal and I thought I wish this was bigger! But then I had gotten used to the serving size and it isn't cheap but you can buy a few meals a week and feel healthier

So good but so spendy
Lowkey this plate was incredible. So tasty, but I had to dock a point for the cost. The cost is criminal. I could go buy a full chipotle bowl for less. Please lower the price and I promise I’ll be a loyal customer

I placed an online order and was given a product that was on sale and expiring day of pick up, I didn't notice until I got home. I had to make another trip to the store to return and get a new meal because my credit card was charged full price.

Buy this in store
Easy to prepare and delicious. I do not understand why it is $12.99 online. I paid $7.79 in store. It is definitely worth the in store price.
