But even that is labor-intensive.
OneTikToker recently demonstrated her meal prepusing takeout from Texas Roadhouse, and the idea seemed like a great value.
So I decided to put the hack to the test and picked up the Grilled Chicken Family Pack myself.

Here’s how it went!
Each pack comes with a large house or Caesar salad, and two sides.
The house salads are hearty and packed with veggies, eggs, cheese, and tomatoes.

You get two dressings, but it’s possible for you to ask for an extra free of charge.
What came was exactly what was ordered and more!
I got 12 rolls in totaland yes they were hot.

There was no way I was getting four salads out of the house salad.
First, I sliced the chicken breasts and divided the slices into six equal portions.
Over that, I laid a few slices of chicken.

I added a roll and some cinnamon honey butter on the side.
Here’s what I thought of my creation.

The chicken seemed moist and delicious.
Texas Roadhouse offers both traditional gravy and cream gravy as options.
I found myself dreaming about the ribs or the ribeyes.
The chicken was smoky and kissed with perfect grill marks.
The mashed potatoes were surprisingly light and had chunks of red potato mixed into the creamy mash.
The corn was tasty and the broccoli was surprisingly flavorful and not cooked down to mush.
The rolls, of course, were delicious, fluffy, and subtly sweet with a fantastic super-thin crust.
The cinnamon honey butter turned the rolls into a pretty decent low-key dessert.
The smoky chicken was, again, a hit.
After two days, the chicken did get a little dry, or maybe I just got bored.
So, is Texas Roadhouse meal prep a good deal?
When comparing my meals to delivery, they are definitely a deal.
The prepped Texas Roadhouse salads are smaller, but they taste better with the chain’s smoky grilled chicken.
However, this deal doesn’t exactly stack up to the prices at the grocery store.
I can see myself taking advantage of this offer to meal prep a couple of times a month.
Maybe then I could occasionally trade up to some sirloin for a treat.
