New Product Combines Flavorful Ingredients to Expand Popular Line of Rice Bowls
SAN DIEGO--(Business Wire)--
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, dinner plates across America will soon
be piled high with turkey, potatoes and grandma`s green bean casserole. But if
you have a hankering now for a zestier blend of protein, carbohydrates and
veggies, try the new Southwest Chicken Bowl at Jack in the Box restaurants,
which is available beginning Monday, Nov. 9 for a limited time.
The new Southwest Chicken Bowl is made with fajita-seasoned chicken, rice,
grilled onions and peppers, and topped with shredded cheddar cheese and a tangy
cilantro lime sauce.

sandwiches," said Tammy Bailey, division vice president of menu marketing and

Bowl, we`re spicing up our line of rice bowls with a flavorful combination of
south-of-the-border ingredients that delivers a filling meal at a great value."

$4.29, plus tax, at participating restaurants.
