South Beach says: Grilled breast strips with rib meat with garlic and herb sauce and green beans almondine.

Abi says: This meal contains an impressive amount of protein. Unfortunately, it contains sauces that render the chicken and green beans inedible, therefore the 44% of your recommended daily allowance of protein is useless.

I lack the sophisticated scientific machinery necessary to confirm that the sauce in Kraft’s South Beach Diet Garlic Herb Chicken actually contained garlic or herbs. Instead, I can only wonder why Kraft had to take some decent chicken breast strips (no measly cubes here!) and cover them with this much sauce. It reminded me of childhood experimentation with the spice cupboard at home and the horrific spiced milk that I couldn’t convince my little brother to drink.

But maybe you like extremely strong yet unidentifiable sauces. In that case, you’d love the green beans, which should be awesome (slices of almond, yum), but end up floating in a pool of oily water. Ok, I don’t know if it was actually oil, but it had the definite sheen of a city puddle after a rainstorm.

If you’re not eating this meal in front of other people, I highly recommend blotting each item with a paper towel before consumption. If that is not a feasible option, then you could just scrape the chicken pieces along the side of the tray, hoping to rid yourself of as much sauce as possible, while saving your dignity.

Yeah, I tried that one. I agree with your assessment. It wasn’t bad. It wasn’t good. It was just…Kraft.

So it was blah, like their cheese.

“Unfortunately, it contains sauces that render the chicken and *green beans* inedible.”

Redundant.

I dont know about anyone else but all of the South Beach microwave meals i’ve had were disgusting. I mean i actually had to throw them away which is huge for me becuase usually I will suffer thru a bad meal just because i spent the 3 dollars on it.
