Taste Test Tuesday: Lean Cuisine Chicken Philly Flatbread Melts
The frozen entrée companies must constantly be developing new products because every time I stroll down the frozen entrée aisle there appear to be new items popping up everywhere. My teenage daughter picked up a new one from Lean Cuisine – something must have grabbed her attention on the package.
It’s a flatbread melt sandwich featuring white meat chicken, some green peppers and onions, a cheddar cheese sauce using reduced fat mozzarella and processed cheddar cheese. There are all sorts of ingredients listed on the label though but these were the main ingredients.
Each sandwich contains 330 calories, 8 grams fat, 3.5 grams saturated fat, 25 mg cholesterol, and 650 mg sodium. This calculates to 22 percent calories from fat and 10 percent calories from saturated fat, which sure sounds pretty good for a convenience product. The sandwich does contribute some important nutrients such as 21 grams of protein, 5 grams of fiber, 40 percent Daily Value for Calcium, 15 percent for vitamin C and 10% for Iron.
How did it taste?
My daughter thought it tasted “pretty good.” It seemed to make for a pretty satisfying lunch along with a bowl of fruit. However, when I asked her if she would buy it again, she said unenthusiastically, “maybe.”
