Meal kit sales totaled an estimated $3.1 billion in 2018¹ and are intended to make decision-making easier when it comes to mealtime. Yet, more than half of Americans say their biggest obstacle to deciding to eat at home is being strapped for time².

"We know lack of time is one of the biggest reasons people go to a restaurant or order out, which was the inspiration behind creating our fully-prepped meal kits," said Steve Silzer, marketing director for the Tyson Brand. "By combining our expertise in chicken, with Instant Pot's credibility in cookware, we're able to bring a fresh meal to the table that's culinary-inspired, stress-free and fast."

The kits roll-out in select locations now, and nationally this spring, in the refrigerated section of the store. They each deliver a hearty three to four servings and cook in 20 minutes, addressing the need to prepare a delicious dinner quickly. After all, half of all home cooks prefer dinner take less than half an hour to prepare, with 15–29 minutes being the ideal cook time³.
