Protein and Sauce Meal Entrees

April 16, 2026

Soules Kitchen, a brand that specializes in fully cooked, protein-rich foods designed to simplify meal preparation, is launching two new product lines: Protein and Sauce Meal Entrees and Street Eats. The new items mark the company's entry into the quickly growing refrigerated entrees category.

Each new dish features all-natural chicken and steak, marinated and seared, then fully cooked and sliced for consumer convenience. Accompanying these premium proteins are unique, family-recipe inspired sauces.

"We've spent years building trust with families by cooking our proteins with the same care and attention that they cook with in their own kitchens," said Michael Pierce, head of marketing at Soules Foods, parent company to Soules Kitchen and The National Provisioner's 2022 Processor of the Year. "Now we're helping families get one step closer to a convenient, feel-good dinner by pairing our proteins with flavorful sauces inspired by our own chefs' family recipes."

Protein and Sauce Meal Entrees

Protein and Sauce Meal Entrees are convenience-focused meals with comfort food flavors. Each entree features all-natural chicken breast and chef-inspired sauce. Varieties include:

  • Garlic and Herb Chicken: Made with a creamy garlic sauce, aromatic herbs and aged parmesan.
  • Orange Sesame Chicken: Made with a sweet and tangy sauce with zesty orange and savory sesame flavors.
  • Pulled Chicken with Mike's Hot Honey BBQ Sauce: Made with a sweet and spicy barbecue sauce that delivers a subtle kick of chilies and smooth sweetness from Mike's Hot Honey.
  • Backyard BBQ Chicken: Made with a smoky-sweet barbecue sauce featuring sweet molasses and savory garlic.

Street Eats

Street Eats brings the experience of local food truck cuisine into the home kitchen. The line features all-natural chicken or steak, cut and seasoned specifically for each dish, and paired with authentic accent sauces that give each meal its character. Street Eats varieties include:

  • Street Taco Chicken with Cilantro Lime Crema: Made with chili lime chicken and paired with a creamy cilantro lime crema.
  • Street Taco Steak with Salsa Roja: Made with carne asada steak and paired with a salsa roja that delivers a smoky kick with fire-roasted tomatoes and garlic.
  • Chicken Philly with Melty Cheese: Made with seasoned and seared chicken and paired with a rich and creamy cheese sauce.

The meals are available in the refrigerated meat section at regional Kroger, Costco and Food Lion locations. A nationwide rollout to Walmart stores begins April 18, 2026, with availability expanding soon to additional major grocery retailers.
