(White Meat Chicken With Angel Hair Pasta & Roasted Garlic In Balsamic Vinaigrette Sauce)
Directions: Cook for 3:30 to 4 minutes; let stand for 2 minutes in microwave, dump food into sauce bowl below. Bowls get hot hot hot!
Another Cafe Steamers platter! In this one I have three chicken strips, each about 3 1/2 inches long. During the cook cycle, the vinegar scent was very strong, to the point that I worried about if I was going to be able to eat it. But once I let it sit for 2 minutes, the scent seemed to fade. Or else I got used to it. The pasta was pretty good, I like how the Cafe Steamer technology keeps it from getting mushy.
There are real cloves of roasted garlic mixed up in there too, so beware if you’re at work. I’ll have to brush my teeth before I head back today.
Darn if it wasn’t tasty and filling! I supplemented with a serving of peas anyway to keep me healthfully stuffed. But when I think of “margherita” I think more basil and mozzarella cheese than a brown vinaigrette, so I’m slightly disappointed that way.

(Tempura Battered Chicken Breast With Rice & Vegetables In Spicy Brown Sauce)
Directions: Microwave for 3:30 to 4:00. Let stand for 2 minutes, then dump the foodstuffs into the sauce below it. This will be hot hot hot!
I’m still have 3 more dishes in my Cafe Steamers supply, so here we go…
Ni hao! Five pieces of chicken await me. The sauce is spicy and the chicken chunks are a bit too chewy, but all-around it doesn’t taste bad at all. It is VERY spicy, though. The vegetables are peas, carrots and red pepper chunks. There’s also red pepper in the sauce.
Holding true to the Chinese food stereotype, I’m still ravenously hungry after putting away this 430 calories. I steamed up some broccoli to eat on the side.
I won’t do this again. Nothing against the taste of the dish itself, but if I’m going to take a 430 calorie (9 points!!) hit to my day, I’m going to eat real food.

(grilled white meat chicken, sun dried tomatoes, red peppers & a creamy pesto sauce in a soft flatbread)
Directions: fold up box, put flatbread on top of it, cook for 2:45. LET SIT FOR A MINUTE, then fold. It will be hot hot hot!
And kinda meh. Not much spillage, and the filling wasn’t bad. It was just a bit doughy for my tastes.
It was eaten at work, and didn’t fill me up on its own. So I supplemented with apple slices and a garden salad.
