Product Review: Healthy Choice Honey Ginger Chicken Select Entree

If you have noticed those funny Healthy Choice® commercials with Julia Louis-Dreyfus on TV recently, but haven't yet tried any of the new recipes included in their frozen Select Entrees, you are missing some great taste! Healthy Choice has several new categories of frozen entrees, including "All Natural", which uses all-natural ingredients and 100% extra virgin olive oil, and "Fresh Mixers™", which are meals that have the sauces and the pasta or rice separated - after cooking, you strain the pasta or rice using the enclosed strainer, and add the sauce.

I just tried the Honey Ginger Chicken Select Entrée and found it to be delicious! The Healthy Choice website describes this entrée as "Chicken tenderloin with an Asian-style vegetable blend in honey ginger sauce ..."

The sauce in this entrée is wonderfully spicy with that warm bite that a good ginger sauce provides the palate. The entrée has brown rice, which provides you with 31g of whole grain. The vegetables include carrots, red peppers, mushrooms, and shelled edamame.

The Honey Ginger Chicken Select Entrée has 310 calories (45 from fat), and provides you with 50% of your recommended daily allowance (RDA) of Vitamin A!

For anyone with allergies, Healthy Choice clearly spells out on the box that the entrée contains soy, sesame, wheat and milk. It has 6 Weight Watcher's points, and the diet exchanges per serving are listed as (1) lean meat, (3) starches, and (1) vegetable.

The Healthy Choice Honey Ginger Chicken Select Entrée is one of the first frozen entrees I've tried in a long time that had me thinking about how I might incorporate one or two into a larger meal for family dinners. Adding a couple of boxes to some leftover rice and chicken would give you a quick-to-make meal. Sautéing one of these entrees with some additional veggies (I'm thinking peppers, green beans and/or carrots) would give you another great topping for rice, or a meal in itself! And I'm even thinking about adding one to my favorite chicken or beef broth with some additional leftovers to make a great soup to serve with warm bread and butter!

Check out Healthy Choice's website for more information about these delicious new recipes in frozen entrees. The website contain nutritional values for all of their entrees, clips of all the "Spokesperson Wanted" commercials with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, (including the controversial "eating like a pig" commercial that has disgusted parents and others on their Message Board up in arms)! You will also find coupons, and much more!
