Lean Cuisine says: Grilled herbed chicken tenderloins,penne pasta,hand-picked broccoli and carrots in a garlic herb sauce accented with tomatoes and parmesan cheese,served with apples in a caramel sauce.

Carolyn says: This meal is larger than the standard Lean Cuisine fare (supposed to be for dinner), but that means a nice and filling lunch. The broccoli and carrots were good - not too soggy, and very flavored with the sauce. The chicken was cooked well, as far as microwave chicken goes. And the sauce and cheese hit the spot. Can’t find much to complain about the entree. The apples in a caramel sauce were good, but there were not enough of them. They only partially filled the space that was designated for the apples. Overall, this was a good selection, and I heartily recommend the Lean Cuisine Grilled Chicken and Penne Pasta.

    Flavorful and actually a bit filling (esp. eating the included dessert).

    Speaking of the dessert, why do desserts in frozen meals always achieve surface-of-the-sun temperatures and maintain that temperature far longer than the rest of the meal?

    My tongue is a bit burnt now but that’s what I get for being a bit too hungry to temp-test it first. :-)

    Wow, so it HAS been 2 years, and while I do agree that this meal is good (maybe not 4 stars good, though), yours looks so much better…my paltry 3 carrots and 1 broccoli piece look lonely…

    This meal is very good but the best part is the apples. They are fantastic.
