Lean Cuisine says: Grilled white meat chicken with broccoli and pasta tossed in a creamy Alfredo sauce made with Parmesan and Romano Cheeses.

Carolyn says: This meal was pleasantly tasty. Eating a ‘lean’ alfredo is always a dangerous venture. After cooking it for a long time (5 minutes, then mix, then 3 more minutes), I was ready to try this combo. The chicken and brocolli was cooked very well, and there was enough pasta to give me a filling (relatively speaking) lunch. Sauce was a little watery at first, and then solidified to a more regular alfredo type taste. Not something I will buy tons of times, but it was pretty good.

Smart Ones says: Tender white meat chicken in a sweet chili sauce and paired with a southwest style seasoned rice, bean and corn medley.

Carolyn Says: For one of the first times in my life, the food that came out of the microwave looked almost identical to the food on the cover of the box. Not bad! The instructions told me not to mix the chicken with the rice while cooking, so I waitied until after the food was done cooking to mix it up. The rice was quite good, not too soggy, and nicely accented with corn and peppers. The chicken was also as delicious as microwavable chicken can get - not too chewy or hard. Sauce was tasty as well. Only downside is the fact it was not a super filling meal, but thats what you should expect from these brands.

Lean Cuisine says: Delicate ravioli stuffed with Ricotta, Mozzarella, Parmesan and Romano cheeses, then topped with a robust tomato sauce accented with basil, onion and garlic.

Dear Lean Cuisine:

By the time you read this note, I’ll be gone. I’ll have faded from this world into a transparent grey substanceless existence. Why? Because you are what you eat, and I’ve been eating far too much of your weak cuisine. It’s not me, it’s you. You have lack flavor and leave my appetite unsated.

The “tomato sauce” atop your cheese ravioli is NOT “robust.” Though it does contain chunks of what appear to be tomatoes and onions, I detect nothing. Amazingly, this version is even
blander than “tomato” sauces from other LC meals. The ravioli shell is fair. But it’s what’s inside that counts, right? I ate the ravioli very carefully, so as to extract as much cheese taste as humanly possible, knowing your reputation for skimpy, bland cheese portions.

The process I used to taste the cheese inside each ravioli had me acting far more intimately with this meal than I generally act towards my lunch. The six medium sized ravioli, well, we are boyfriend-girlfriend now. And six ravioli! That’s not a meal, its a side dish. Me and the ravioli, not me and you, Lean Cuisine. But it’s the kind of relationship that will only last until something better comes along, and I expect that will be very soon.

With Love,
Nicole

Lean Cuisine says: Freshly made lemon pepper fettucini,served with roasted white meat chicken,hand-picked red peppers,chopped spinach, diced onions,and julienne carrots tossed together in an herbed olive oil sauce with aged Parmesan and Romano cheese.

Abi says: The meal looked like a real restaurant meal. Finely ground spices lay scattered across the fettuccini like stars in the night sky. Tangy lemoniness infused each cube of chicken. While that sounds like glowing praise, this meal was just adequate for a microwaved lunch. It would be interesting to microwave four or five of these and then put them all on a nice serving dish, steam some green beans, and serve them to your mother-in-law. While that plan wouldn’t go down so well in my house, maybe it could work for you. I stick to making Mexican food for my partner’s family, it is my cooking trump card.

Ok, back to the meal. I have a sinus infection, so I think that the lemon in this dish much be much, much stronger than I can currently comprehend in my not-smelling-much state. This means that you may find your cube-mates saying things like “Is someone using Lemon Pledge on their cube?” or “Jeez, someone went overboard with the bathroom spray”. Did you know
that the guys in our office don’t have a scented spray in their bathroom? Well, they don’t. We have two kinds: country rose and citrus.

Back to the meal again. If you’ve eaten all of the chicken and noodles and there seem to be some vegetables just chilling in the sauce DO NOT EAT THEM! They are swimming in a sea of ultra-lemoniness, lemon-flavor so strong that it made me wince. And I can’t smell anything!Other than that, it is a pretty good meal.
