[Review] Iceland Cocoa Chicken & Green Rice

Ever since I spotted the cocoa chicken at Iceland, it was on my list to try because cocoa works well in food.

Previously tried Mexican chicken mole which is chicken in savoury chocolate sauce.
The Cocoa Chicken & Green Rice from Iceland is cooked shredded chicken in a tomato and chipotle chili sauce with cocoa powder, served with cooked long grain rice with spinach and green chili puree.
After taking the sleeve off, you could see that some of the chicken was not in sauce which is why you have to stir it halfway through so that the chicken will be get mixed with the sauce.

Having had bad experience reheating rice by the microwave, the cocoa chicken was steamed which helps soften the rice and chicken.

The Cocoa Chicken & Green Rice was promising, the sauce was a tad too sweet but there were lots of purple onions and shredded chicken.
According to the ingredients, there was chili but I did not find it spicy compared to other curry meals or Mexican dishes.

As for the rice, I loved how green it was mixed with lots of spinach but again it wasn't spicy as the ingredients say there was chili paste in the rice.
There was a strong taste of parsley in the rice though.

Overall I would recommended trying this and and hope they bring back the Iceland Limited Edition Chocolate Chicken Curry 375g.
