Healthy Choice says: Chicken tenderloin medallions and shrimp in a spicy tomato Cajun-style sauce are tossed with white rice, red and green bell peppers and celery.

Nicole says: I was betting on you, Healthy Choice - I thought you could make it happen this lunch time. I had the obscene hope that you could produce an edible Cajun Style Chicken and Shrimp. But it’s got no style, as evidenced by the watery tomato sauce has a teensy-weensy bit of spice to it. That makes it Cajun? The people of Louisiana would laugh in your face if they weren’t busy preparing for hurricane season. You included 3 or 4 pieces of tasteless, mushy slices of celery. That makes it Cajun? No thank you, Healthy Choice. Additionally, your rice cooked up too hard, the shrimp was chewy (I did have my doubts about making that work in the microwave,) and the chicken “medallions” were either dry or soft enough that they melted in my mouth. Chocolate should melt in your mouth, not chicken. They weren’t even medallions, they were chunks. I expect medallions to have a round shape, just like I expect you to stop abusing the word ‘Cajun’ on your packaging.

This is so depraved… since discovering this Web site, I tune in EVERY day to see what was for lunch and whether I want any. It’s so wrong, but it feels so right.

I know! I totally agree. I am a friend on Amy’s who read about this blog on her blog. I must say, fabulous job on the blogging. It’s funny to see the items that Trader Joe’s sells on the east coast compared to in San Diego. I wish I could try them. Keep up the good work!

I had this meal a few months ago, and from what I remember of it I tried it and found it pretty flavorless but then enjoyed it after adding my own cajun seasoning. The chicken were either to small or not abundant enough.
