Last week on the blog I reviewed the Costco Kirkland Signature Fully Cooked Chicken Sausages, Costco Kirkland Signature Quesadillas and Mexican Style Corn Salad and the Costco Kirkland Signature Tortellini Pasta Salad.

I’ve tried a few KFI products from Costco before like the butter chicken sauce, coconut curry sauce and the vindaloo cooking sauce. When I saw this new butter chicken meal I decided to give it a try. I paid $19.99 Canadian for the box that comes with two packs of butter chicken. One box is enough for a family of four and one individual pack is enough for two people.
There’s only one method listed to heat the butter chicken where you boil the bag in water. The chicken is already cooked so you’re just heating it. The butter chicken needs to be kept in the refrigerator or it could be frozen if you’re not going to use it by the best before date. The best before date is around three months from when I bought it.
In 1/2 cup of butter chicken there are 180 calories, eight grams of fat, seven grams of carbohydrates, one gram of fibre, four grams of sugar, 21 grams of protein and 860 milligrams of sodium. The ingredients list is pretty short and sweet.
There’s a lot more sauce than chicken. I usually find meals like this lacking in meat and having too much sauce. The chicken that is there seems to be decent quality though. There’s a a tad more than a mild amount of heat, which I like. The sauce is very good and if you like butter chicken you’ll be sure to enjoy this.

Thanks for the review, I love Butter Chicken 😋 I am glad there is lots of sauce, perfect on a bed of jasmine rice.
Late to the party but came across this post again; want to share my two cents. I def prefer my butter chicken with more meat, so the kit as packaged doesn’t really seem like great value to me. It also doesn’t seem like there’s veggies/other fillings?
IMO A better bang for my canuck is grabbing the KFI Butter Chicken sauce and Costco’s rotisserie chicken. Carve/shred the latter, heat the sauce (I’ve microwaved before when lazy), and pour sauce on chicken. Effort-wise about the same to me, since I don’t have to cook, and I like shredding the chicken. But I get easily double the meat from a whole chicken compared to the kit.
