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

Purchased Price:<\/b> $3.99 (on sale)
\nSize:<\/b> 11 oz.
\nPurchased at:<\/b> Target
\nRating:<\/b> 6 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> Honestly decent. Great source of fiber (thanks whole grain pilaf!). Lots of green beans, yellow beans, and carrot strips, so I can help balance all the other crap I eat. No artificial ingredients or preservatives. Enough purple pomegranate sauce to coat chicken and pilaf<\/a>\u2026and to make Prince happy. Good source of poly- and monounsaturated fats. Sodium isn’t crazy high (430 mg). Don’t need a chemistry degree to understand ingredients.
\nCons:<\/b> Pomegranate glaze was noticeable, but a little too light in flavor. Chicken breast was on the smallish and dry side. Takes 1\/5 of a 30 minute lunch break to prepare. Pricier than regular Lean Cuisine meals. Didn’t notice the currants in the pilaf. <\/p>\n
