Taste: First of all, let me say that there is a lot of food here. This is good, because I'm a hungry girl. Everything tastes fine! The broccoli is bright and fresh, the chicken isn't too dry (and is mostly of the not-suspect texture, although I did leave quite a few pieces behind) and the potatoes aren't soggy. What's lacking for me here is the flavor; there isn't much. The "savory wine sauce" is fine, I guess, and I suppose savory wine sauce is much better for you than gravy, but something tastes a little off about it to to me. Not bad, but probably not as good as I would expect it to be for a frozen meal I paid almost $5 for.
I haven't been doing cost analyses here, but perhaps I should be. Typically I purchase whatever brand of frozen meal is on sale, with the exception of Amy's and Evol, which are generally pricier but worth the extra cost. The quantity with this Stouffer's Fit Kitchen meal is there - it's a lot of food for a frozen lunch, but I definitely didn't like it enough to pay $4.59 for it again.
Cooking: Peel back film, cook 5 minutes, stir, recover, and cook another 3 minutes. It cooked pretty evenly but I did have a couple cold potatoes.
