Talk about a tale of two cities. Whereas my review of the Glazed
Chicken offering from the folks at Nestle (no longer exists as of 2015) was less than sterling, this meal
was a horse of a different color! I was so very pleasantly surprised that I
made the decision to buy more of this at the store while it was still on sale
for $2.50. But, before I get to gushing too much, let me cover one oddity.
Back to the taste. This mix of chicken, potatoes and other
veggies is offered in a white cream sauce the combination of which is very
similar to a meal my mom made when I was a child. Total comfort food here.
Also, at only 170 calories, I could enjoy some additional sides without messing
my diet up too much. Bonus points for that!
I give this meal a 9 on a scale of ten and urge everyone to
give it a try!
Update: Here is the response from ConAgra concerning the need to use 50% power: "
Thank you for taking the time to contact us about LEAN CUISINE® Herb Roasted Chicken. We welcome questions and comments from loyal consumers such as yourself and appreciate this opportunity to assist you.
We have read your email. This is how we tested this particular product for the best quality. With some microwaves, 50% power is synonymous with power level 5, medium, medium-low and in some instances, defrost. If your microwave only has a high setting, you can cook the product on high power for half the amount of time. If the product is not thoroughly cooked in that amount of time, continue cooking on high but check after a minute or so to prevent overcooking."
Update: In 2015 the cooking instructions had been changed to simply, place in the microwave and cook for 6 1/2 minutes!
