Home Chef is a meal kit and prepared meal delivery service founded in 2013 in Chicago, Illinois, and acquired by Kroger in 2018. The company offers over 30 weekly meal options ranging from traditional meal kits with pre-portioned ingredients to oven-ready meals, 15-minute meal kits, grill-ready proteins, and fully prepared heat-and-eat options. Home Chef's integration with Kroger stores means customers can also find Home Chef meal kits in thousands of grocery stores across the United States.

Home Chef distinguishes itself through its customization options, allowing subscribers to swap proteins in most recipes, upgrade to premium ingredients, and double up on portions. The service caters to a range of dietary preferences including calorie-conscious, carb-conscious, and vegetarian options. Home Chef's straightforward recipe cards are designed for home cooks of all skill levels, with most meals ready in 30 minutes or less.
