After a 14.5 hour day, the last thing I want to do when getting home after 8pm is start cooking dinner. All of my pre-made food was being eaten for lunch, so I don't want the same thing for dinner. I would have loved to get some chicken and broccoli, but my favorite Chinese restaurant is closed for repairs, and I'm too picky to try a new place. If it sucks, I'll be pissed for wasting food and money! Not to mention I tend to always overeat when I have Chinese.
I was at the grocery store getting some fresh veggies, and wandered over to the frozen food aisle. Off to the "healthy meal" section I go! Now, I don't do frozen cooked seafood. Never reheats well. Also not a fan of turkey, or anything trying to be italian. Despite high sodium, I tend to lean towards Asian food when it comes to frozen meals.
My choice for the evening was a Lean Cuisine Lemongrass Chicken meal. Looked somewhat appealing, 6 WW Points+, and I was HUNGRY.
Honestly, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Considering that it was late, I didn't want a large meal, so it was a good size (I would have supplemented it with soup or a salad if I were eating at a normal dinner hour). The chicken actually tasted like chicken in both taste and texture. The sauce was enjoyable. It was a bit salty, but I expected that. Overall, my least favorite part of this meal were the noodles. I can't pinpoint what about them, but something about them wasn't living up to my expectations. They weren't bad, just not great.
I hope to not have to resort to meals like this too often (not just for nutritional reasons, but almost $5 for about $1.50 worth of food? Meh).
At least now I have something that I can grab and know I will enjoy it.
