To prepare, simply remove the outer packaging. You can heat the bowl in a microwave according to the package directions, usually for a few minutes until thoroughly warmed. For a slightly different texture, you might consider heating it in a conventional oven, though this may take longer. Ensure the chicken and vegetables are hot before serving. It can be eaten directly from the container.
