Frozen Friday: Healthy Choice - Sundried Tomato Chicken

 Healthy Choice's Sundried Tomato Chicken frozen meal is one of their new microwavable steaming entrees and features chicken tenderloins, whole grain pasta, broccoli, and mushrooms in a sun-dried tomato garlic sauce.

One 8.75-ounce box will net you 320 calories and cost you around $2.99 or less if on sale.

The flavors out of this one were a bit plain and fairly muted.
Apparently sun-dried tomatoes keep the fruit's nutritional value. The sauce was tomato-y but didn't cling to the pasta very well and didn't add to much flavor. I think a little more added seasoning like pepper or herbs would have helped.

The chicken was tender and the broccoli and mushrooms were overcooked and a bit mushy.
The end result was a little "meh" for me. I guess you get a good amount of nutrition though, with relatively little in the way of fat, sodium, but also, flavor.
