Tried and Tasted: Low Fat Chicken Breast in Sauce Meals

£2.99

Mustard Chicken with Creme Fraiche Mash, Perfectly Balanced, Waitrose*

Our winning meal had it all: Big chunks of tender  chicken, a creamy mustard and leek sauce, deliciously creamy mash (that'll be the creme fraiche then - and the reason why this meal is not so low fat as the others!), great combination of tastes and textures and "just enough flavour". Must try - we give it a unanimous 5 stars!

£1.99

Honey & Mustard Chicken with Spring Vegetable Rice, Slim-Fast

An attractive looking dish which was full of flavour: succulent chunks of chicken, in tasty honey, mustard and onion sauce... mmm... complemented by a tasty spring vegetable rice. Definitely worth a try - 4 stars. Best taste for a very low fat meal.

£1.49

Chicken in Broccoli & Mushroom with Savoury Rice, Good Choice, Iceland*

A larger than average portion size, means this "looks like a filling meal". (As it should be given the large number of calories in a portion). There was a nice sized portion of rice, creamy/tasty mushroom sauce and chunks of chicken with broccoli. Could do with a little more chicken, but overall, one to look out for - 3 stars.

£2.99

Honey & Mustard Chicken with Baby Potatoes, Be Good to Yourself, Sainsbury's*

The panel were pleased with the uniqueness: A whole breast of chicken and baby potatoes (rather than the usual rice/mash). The honey and mustard sauce was tasty, if a little watery, but just didn't shape up to its Slim-Fast counterpart, making it a slightly disappointing 2 stars. This meal was the lowest in fat.

£2.69

Hot Pepper Chicken & Hash, Healthy Living, Tesco*

The chicken was again a whole breast (but not as large as Sainsbury's!); the sauce was watery, but had lots of flavour; and the hash... regardless of an appetizing appearance, was bland. Didn't compare to the others on offer - 1 star.

£3.29

Chicken in Red Wine with Cabbage & Spring Onion Mash, Count on Us, M&S

And finally, shock, horror - the panel were devastated to discover they'd place COU last! M&S lost their magic with this one - the mash, for all its added "flavour" - was dull in comparison to Waitrose; the sauce watery and bland; the bacon pieces tasted artificial. Very disappointing - Zero stars.
