Healthy Choice Café Steamers Frozen Chicken Pesto Classico - 9.9oz

Pesto sauce has yummy spices. Fresh not freezer-burned ingredients

When I developed gastroparesis, this was the only thing of substance I could eat. (This was before I saw anything saying this was 'GLP-1' friendly.) Thankfully, it tasted good. I still eat them now, I always keep a couple in my freezer.

Didn't taste bad but it sure didn't taste like pesto

These used to be my favorite, but all of a sudden they've become mushy messes. Not sure if they've changed something, but hopefully they'll address this issue because these aren't nearly as good as they used to be.

Best one of these I’ve had. The chicken is meh, such a weird texture, but taste wise this is good and the veggies are actually good! If frozen meals could just figure out the chicken it’d be all i eat.

This is one of the healthy choice meals I like.low calorie,high protein,veggies.quick and easy when you don't feel like cooking.goid taste.😊

This was the worst Café Steamers I've ever eaten. The pesto was watery wit no taste. I had to trash it.

Taste great, 4 minutes 30 seconds you have a great meal....

I've been eating this consistently for many, many years. It's been my absolute favorite. So color me shocked when the last two I've had tasted really, really bad. It had a weird, almost medicine-like flavor. I don't know if it's a bad batch or something changed, but it's gross. This is one of my only truly safe foods, as a neurodivergent person, I depend on having safe foods, the kinds that never change. Now I have to take this one out of my rotation, which makes me incredibly sad. I always have at least one package in my freezer.

Love the simplicity & freshness of this chicken pasta

I've tried most of the healthy choice frozen meals over the last 5 or so years and this is by far my favorite. For a pasta meal its great in calories and so filling.

It’s really good. I’m not a fan of the chicken due to its texture but the veggies and pasta are really good. It is not seasoned so you will have to season it yourself if you want to.

Flavor is ok, some of the quality of the vegetables need improvement. But they need to stop using soybean oil, it’s never been a healthy oil and is mostly from genetically modified plants. Won’t be buying any from this line again until they get rid of the harmful oils.

Overall great taste but PLEASE wash your veggies going forward. The sand was noticeable in my recent batch 50064081 2004 23:12 P115

Way too much pepper in the sauce. I don’t taste any basil at all. Not really up to the rest of the product line. Glad I bought it on sale. Won’t buy it again.

It's so watery and tasteless it is almost inedible. I ate it because I paid for it and I was hungry.

I have ate this one for years, it’s one of my favourites. I find the peppery pesto meal light and bright, though I do feel like there’s less of the good stuff than there used to be. I can understand some of the reactions though, it is not quite how it looks on the box (ads made to look better than the content are a marketing mistake), but also the predominate flavours of pesto are often basil or parmesan, but they’re less intense here, but then I’m not sure what it would take to make pesto taste as good as fresh over frozen and microwaved. For me it is a lighter meal, almost palette cleansing if I’ve had less healthy options, but I couldn’t call it that since the herbs, spices, and vegetables’ tastes linger pleasantly on my tongue lol. And it doesn’t have onions that I need to pick around so it’s a 2-1 purchase rate for me over favourites that you make that do have onions. Do I wish that there was a bit more to it, sure, but as long as any further shrink-flation is kept out of it, then I’ll keep buying this for sure!! If you come in to this with little preconceived notions past a lighter pasta, or just thinking pasta, chicken, and zucchini in a peppery light sauce, I think you’d enjoy this too.

The box picture looks a lot different then inside box. Box shows chicken with grill marks seared well. The pesto sauce on box is brown. Inside box is green. I could not eat looked so horrible and tasted like it to. Have pictures of box and what's really inside but can't upload as has no option.

Lacks any flavour, especially the basil flavour, would not recommend.

Except for the pepper, this was really good. I am looking forward to hearing back.
