\"Lean<\/a><\/p>\n

Purchased Price:<\/b> $3.99 (on sale)
\nSize:<\/b> 10 1\/8 oz.
\nPurchased at:<\/b> Target
\nRating:<\/b> 7 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> Honestly good. Chicken was surprisingly a little moist and easy to cut through with a fork. Honey citrus glaze was mildly citrusy and sweet, and not overpowering. Pasta was cooked well. Half the entree was veggies, which were lightly seasoned. No artificial ingredients or preservatives. Hardest word to say in ingredients list was “radiatore,” which I learned is a pasta and not Italian for car radiator.
\nCons:<\/b> Honestly pricey. Chicken was a bit small<\/a>. It appears there’s a lot of sauce in the packet, but much of it disappears after microwaving it. Broccoli get a bit shriveled after being nuked. Instructions are slightly more complex than most other frozen entrees.<\/p>\n
