Lean Cuisine Chicken Carbonara


Calories: 270
WW Points: 6

Their description: Roasted chicken tenderloins in a creamy Parmesan cheese sauce with bacon, mushrooms, basil and garlic. Served over a bed of linguini tossed with roasted red peppers.

At first glance: That looks too thick to be linguini. Some lumpy beige and grey things in a white sauce.

Upon closer inspection: Beige is chicken, grey is mushrooms. I had to nuke it again because my microwave's on crack acting up. I'm not seeing peppers or bacon, save for one tiny fleck of pepper in my pasta. And I really mean one. Fleck.

Taste: Chicken tastes like chicken and has the texture of chicken, so long as meal isn't overcooked in the microwave. I think they tried to make it taste like bacon, but all I'm really getting from the sauce is smokey-ness. Pasta's overdone. Mushrooms taste like nothing. Thanks, but no thanks.

Overall rating (up to 10): 3 (I'm sure this pleases someone. Just not me.)
