To prepare Kroger Chicken Verde, simply heat it thoroughly. You can do this in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it is hot throughout.

For a quicker option, you can microwave it in a microwave-safe container, following the package's specific microwave instructions, usually for a few minutes, stirring halfway through.
