I love many of the Healthy Choice brand frozen meals. Recently, I spotted a Healthy Choice Pineapple Chicken Meal in the frozen dinners section of my local grocery store. This dinner looked exciting. I decided to buy it, try it out and write a product review all about my personal experience with it. Here is what I discovered!
I bought one Healthy Choice Pineapple Chicken dinner for a bit over three dollars. This meal steams in my microwave and I liked that. This dish has chicken tenderloins, whole grain brown rice, water chestnuts, pineapple, red pepper and edamame, all in a sweet pineapple sauce. This frozen meal is pretty healthy. It has no preservatives. It is low cal, low in fat, protein and fiber rich, packed with vitamins and minerals and even equals only 6 weight watchers points, according to Con Agra’s calculations. Very diet friendly. I could not wait to taste it!
This dish is perfect for microwave cooking and that is how I cooked it. You do not have to vent this dinner. I placed it in my microwave, heated on high for four and one half minutes, uncovered, poured the contents of the steamer basket into the sauce bowl, stirred well and served. This meal looked great and smelled terrific! When I tasted it, I was pleased. The chicken was tender and juicy. The veggies were fresh tasting. The sweet pineapple sauce is divine. You better love pineapple, if you try this dinner. I do. You can tell that this dish is indeed Asian inspired. At first, I did not think that water chestnuts and edamame would go that well with pineapple, but it does work. I rate this meal three and one half stars out of five stars. While it is not my favorite of the Healthy Choice steamed meals, it is fun to eat and very creative.

I had fun trying Healthy Choice Pineapple Chicken Meal and writing this product review about it. It is very different and quite interesting. A healthy frozen meal is always good to try. This one is not bad. The Healthy Choice line has so many great microwave friendly meals to choose from. Most are worthy of a try.
