Healthy Choice says: For this dish, we coated tender fettuccine pasta with basil to accompany the moist chicken breast chunks. Our rich and creamy Parmesan and Romano cheese sauce uses skim milk instead of cream to deliver traditional Alfredo taste with less fat. Cracked black pepper adds the finishing touch.

Abi says: I have to admit now that the image above is not my first dalliance with Healthy Choice’s chicken Fettuccini Alfredo. Instead, it is just one indicator in a long, drawn out relationship filled with lies, deceit, and modified cornstarch.

Look at the picture. Look at the spices on the chicken, the sauteed look, the sprig of parsley. Every time I pick up the box, I imagine that it will look that way on the inside. Yet, I know it won’t. Over and over again I fool myself into believing that things will be different this time, that he’ll change. Ok, enough melodrama.

There may not be visible spices on the chicken, but this is the best frozen meal fettuccine alfredo I’ve tried (so far that includes Stouffer’s, Michelina’s, Smart Ones, and Marie Callendar’s). Yes, better than Marie’s. And healthier!

Ok, so it has several ingredients that may or may not contain MSG, but when it comes down to a fast and easy (and cheap!) Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo, Healthy Choice is the way to go.

Note: I am in no way reimbursed for any of the meals I review here. Healthy Choice provides me with neither food nor money. If you read my review of Grilled Chicken with Smokehouse BBQ Sauce you will understand why.
