BOULDER, Colo. — Gardein has launched  Skillet Meals, a vegan meal solution for two. Skillet Meals marry the brand’s signature meatless meats with a variety of crisp vegetables, grains and pastas in sauces that can be prepared in minutes. These four new products are non-GMO project verified, certified vegan, dairy-free and made with plant protein, adding to Gardein’s wide variety of plant-based meals:

• Asian Style Chick’n Fried Rice: Brings a plant-based version of everyone’s favorite takeout to your dinner table in minutes. Made with Gardein chick’n bites, broccoli, peppers, edamame and more in a delicious, Asian-style sauce.
• Chick’n Fiesta: A quick and easy plant-based spin on south-of-the-border cuisine, this flavor-packed dish delivers a medley of veggies, beans and spices combined with our savory Gardein chick’n bites for an exciting meal.
• Chick’n Florentino: Quickly prepare this delicious, meatless variety of a classic Italian favorite – made with our signature Gardein chick’n bites, broccoli and spinach in a creamy roasted garlic and lemon sauce.
• Italian Style Rigatoni n’ Saus’age: This plant-based version of a homestyle Italian meal offers a savory combination of pasta, peppers and onions along with our new Gardein Italian saus’age bites and a rich marinara sauce.

“Consumers today want healthier, sustainable options that fit into their busy schedules,” said Andy Judd, vp of marketing at Boulder Brands. “As the very first multi-serve meals available in the frozen meatless category, our New Skillet Meals are outrageously delicious and can be prepared in minutes, making meal time a rewarding experience no matter how brief.”
