Some nights when I have the energy, I love to marinate chicken for a tasty dinner later that evening (or the next day). Other nights I don’t have the wherewithal to prep all of those ingredients and mix them together, so when I find a pre-marinated chicken option at the grocery store, I love to give it a try. Aldi brought back its pre-marinated street taco chicken, and based on how shoppers are raving about how good it is, it sounds like the kind of thing I should be stocking up on ASAP.
Back at Aldi this week, One Fine Chicken Street Taco Chunks are sold at just $3.79 a pound. The chunks are cut up from chicken thighs that are raised without any antibiotics, marinated in a tasty seasoning, meaning this pack of chicken is ready to cook and eat when you’re craving Mexican food.
This chicken is incredibly versatile and can be used on a variety of dishes. Tacos are always a given, especially if you top it with this creamy cilantro-lime taco slaw. TikTok user @aldiallthetime shared a delicious looking burrito bowl with her cooked street taco chicken, with rice, black beans, pico de gallo, avocado, cilantro, sour cream, topped with sauce and served with corn chips. Taco salads are also a delicious way to enjoy this chicken (we love loading our taco salads with beans and chips), and this chicken also works well for a big sheet pan of nachos if you’re having guests over.
We love when Aldi makes meals easy for us, especially when it comes to those weeknight dinners. These five-ingredient Aldi dinners make whipping up a meal incredibly easy, and if you can’t get enough tacos these days, these Aldi freezer taco kits are also great when you need something in a pinch.
