Healthy Choice Cajun Chicken and Shrimp

Healthy Choice Cajun Chicken and ShrimpHealthy Choice Cajun Chicken and Shrimp is one of the Cafe Selections line of meals at Healthy Choice. They are supposed to be "exciting, restaurant-inspired recipes with creative combinations of crisp, colorful vegetables, seasoned meats, and flavorful spices." The Healthy Choice Cajun Chicken and Shrimp is a mix of "chicken tenderloin medallions and shrimp in a spicy tomato Cajun-style sauce tossed with white rice, red and green bell peppers and celery."

All the statements you see in bold are the ones that I totally disagree with. Lets start with the use of the word "Cajun" in the name of the meal, and the description of "flavorful and spicy." Nothing could be further from the truth! This meal is very bland and flavorless. Even the sauce, which is supposed to be tomato based, is weak at best. There was chicken in there somewhere, but I couldn't distinguish it since I think it's 'flavor' was totally gone. I think they said it best over at Heat Eat Review, "the people of Louisiana would laugh in your face" (for calling this Cajun)! [link].

The meal is 5 Weight Watchers points and has 250 calories, with only 5% of the recommended daily amount of total fat (3 grams) and saturated fat (1 gram). There is no trans fat, 25% of the RDA for sodium (600 mg), 18 grams of protein and 36 grams of total carbohydrates, which includes 12% of the RDA for fiber (3 grams) and 3 grams of sugars.

While the nutrition is not bad, I much prefer the Healthy Choice Creamy Garlic Shrimp which I had before [read the review]. It costs the same (about $2.50 on sale) and was much more flavorful.
