Lean cuisine says: Roasted chicken tenderloins in a garlic-rosemary sauce, spinach and brown rice.

Abi says: Responses to the scent of this meal vary. I thought it smelled like any other microwaveable entree until my coworker Jess said “Is somebody eating cereal?”. Don’t sip Diet Coke while eating this. The chemical reaction that occurs will produce a burning spinach/grain sensation. Ew. Shouldn’t Lean Cuisine assume that a lot of their patrons are going to be drinking Diet Coke? The Diet Coke test should probably be added to the production and edibility cycle of food development for any company that produces ‘diet’ foods. I am glad that I brought a bagel today, because I was unable to finish this meal. Wait, the word ‘finish’ probably implies that I ate most of it, which is not true. The most scientific way to put it is that I ’sampled’ the Lean Cuisine Rosemary Chicken. I would suggest not ever, ever sampling it in the future.

Ditto, I pitched this one FAST. The rice tasted like dirt…truly. The chicken, let’s just say it suffered the same much deserved fate.

No clue why I bought this dish - probably because it looked nice on the picture. This one was the worst I ever had from the lean cuisine meals so far

Amen! This stuff was disgusting. No wonder I was able to get it on clearance for 1.71.

Eww, is all I can say. One day after eating this meal and I’m still tasting the terrible brown rice. I drank a Coke Zero with it and am assuming I’m having the same reaction that Abi described.
