Lean Cuisine says: Tender pieces of roasted chicken breast topped with a creamy alfredo sauce made with Parmesan and Romano cheeses, cream and butter. Accented with black pepper and parsley. Served with fettucini pasta.

Nicole says: Perhaps I was hasty in writing off Lean Cuisine. After suffering through three severely disappointing meals, I couldn’t help myself. When I pulled the Chicken Fettuccini from the freezer I thought “Who can screw up fettuccini alfredo?” and immediately answered myself, “Lean Cuisine can!”

What can I say, we’re all wrong sometimes. The chicken portion is scant, well so are all Lean Cuisine portions. Here you get about 6.5 reasonably tasty and properly textured cubes, though one was gristly. The noodles are just about al dente and the sauce - WOW! I am impressed. The alfredo sauce is CREAMY, CHEESY, and tastes like in contains some fat! The dish contained plenty of this lovely sauce, but wasn’t swimming in cream. The words “black pepper” and “parsley” are misleading, but that does not discount this Lean Cuisine Success.

This is possibly the most monochromatic meal I have ever laid my eyes upon. Not only that, but it has a grayish hue. I am glad that Nicole so thoroughly enjoyed this meal, but the picture of it is enough to turn me off, oh yeah, that and I don’t eat meat.
