Healthy Choice Grilled Chicken Marinara

May 28th, 2008

(Chicken Breast, Pasta & Broccoli Florets in Marinara Sauce)

Directions: DO NOT PUNCTURE PLASTIC. Microwave on high for 3 min, 15 sec to 4 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes. Remove steamer basket from outer sauce bowl. Stir steamed food into sauce bowl. Dispose of Steamer basket and serve in sauce bowl.

Kim’s warning: The steamer basket is VERY HOT when you pour its contents into the sauce.

Four pieces of chicken are steamed to perfection in this dish. And I’m not kidding. They’re hot and tender. I do see thin strings of mozzarella cheese too. Chicken, pasta, cheese and NO red pepper chunks? This is promising.

The gravy (I call spaghetti sauce gravy, shut up) is passably good jar-tasting stuff. I think it picked up a lot of the garlic and black pepper seasoning from the chicken chunks.

I think this is the best frozen dish pasta I’ve had yet. It must be the steaming system, which keeps the pasta (in this case, penne) from sitting in sauce and getting too mushy. The broccoli florets even have a crunch to them!

And it’s filling! Why can’t I make a 250 cal meal with this much stuff in it and it be filling?

I could eat this one again and again. Love, love, love it.
