Simply Enjoy says: Our Chicken Pad Thai is made with deliciously seasoned white chicken tenderloins that are simmered in authentic Thai-style peanut sauce. Served on a bed of traditional rice noodles this tangy-sweet Thai-style dish is destined to become a favorite with your friends and family

Jenn says: The name makes it sound so simple – SIMPLY enjoy. Ok, I thought at the grocery store this morning. I can do that, especially if the meals are on sale.

Indeed, I did enjoy my lunch today. The meal I removed looked like the meal on the box. Connoisseurs of frozen food know that this is a big deal. Having a frozen food meal that actually looks like the picture on the box is akin to having a politician follow through on a campaign promise. The noodles in the pad Thai were very similar to those I find in my neighborhood Thai restaurant. The chicken was tender and moist and ineEvery few bites I experienced the salty crunch of peanuts.

I was about to follow the directions and SIMPLY enjoy my meal, but something was off – the sauce. While I admittedly liked the sauce, it was more citrus-based than peanut based. If I could identify the exact difference between regular pad Thai sauce and this pad Thai sauce, I would probably be reviewing real restaurants, not frozen food. Thus, you are going to have to take my word that the sauce might not be what you are expecting but it isn’t necessarily bad.

[Nicole also reviewed this meal, giving the Simply Enjoy Pad Thai only 1 star. I recommend that you check out past reviews by both Nicole and Jenn to figure out who you should trust on this one. - Ed.]

What grocery store carries simply enjoy?

Giant and Stop and Shop grocery stores carry these products. Giant (not Giant Eagle) is a Mid-Atlantic chain that started in DC and Stop and Shop I’ve seen in New England, though it may be elsewhere.

I have enjoyed Cashew Chicken and Butter Chichen for years, but the other day I was in a Dollar Store and they had your frozen dinners. I had to purchase the Butter Chichen. I say that I enjoyed it, I tasted almost like mine. I wish that the Stores in my area carried Simply Enjoy the only store stores that we have are P&C and Tops. Next time I am in the stores, I’m going to see the manager, I love Butter Chicken and it takes two days to fix and it is to much for one person. Your dinner was perfect for one.
