Healthy Choice Chicken Margherita
By: | Dec 7, 2004
Healthy Choice Chicken Margherita has "marinated chicken breast and top with fire-grilled sweet bell peppers and a side of angel hair pasta tossed with roasted garlic, diced tomatoes, basil and a balsamic vinaigrette sauce" or it is, as I like to call it, chicken and pasta. This was sooo good and worth every bit of the 340 calories and 8 g of fat . The vinaigrette sauce was great, the sun dried tomato herb seasoned chicken was excellent, and the angel hair pasta was divine. Having never heard of 'chicken margherita' I wasn't sure what to expect, but the taste was like a nicely seasoned roasted chicken. The only downside was that the angel hair pasta had a slight taste like 'soup noodles.'
Nutritionally, as with most of the ready to eat meals, this was a little high in sodium at 25% of the recommended amount (600 mg). There are also 340 calories, 8 grams of fat, but only 1.5 grams of saturated fat,16 grams of protein and 25 grams of total carbohydrates which includes 6 grams of sugars and 6 grams of fiber (20% of the RDA). There is also 50% of the daily requirement of vitamin A. Not bad at all for an entire meal.
The price was right at around $2.50 and Healthy Choice meals go on sale often.

Howdy! Jut wanted to say thanks for the blog comment!
I'm a big fan of Healthy Choice meals, so I'm not surprised to hear that this one is good, too. If I don't have time to pack my own lunch, these work great for me. :)
Healthy Choice Chicken Margherita - Yummy! This is really good and I am now a big fan. These are great for lunch at work, low on calories and the taste was heavenly. Thank you!
Healthy Choice Chicken Margherita has marinated chicken breast but it is not topped with fire-grilled sweet bell peppers.
I called the company because I am deathly allergic to peppers and was informed there are no peppers in their Chicken Margherita.
