Marie Callender's Cheesy Chicken & Rice

Looks: Like someone had already chewed it and spit it back into the bowl. Where are the nice big strips of chicken? Where are the fresh broccoli florets? Where is the creamy cheese sauce? Nowhere to be found. The biggest piece of chicken was perhaps a third the size of the pieces pictured on the box, and even before cooking, the cheese sauce was mixed into the rice. I almost didn't eat it because of how it looked. 1 out of 5

Taste: Even worse than it looks. I was able to stomach four bites before I threw the rest out; because of the way that the cheese sauce gums up the rice and traps the chicken and vegetables in a web of disgusting cheeserice, the entire dish tastes and feels the same - like crap. 0 out of 5

You overcooked it. I buy this thing ALL the time and mine never comes out looking like that. I think it's absolutely delicious, the only Marie Callender meal that hasn't turned to complete crap since the economic decline (and therefore cheapening of ingredients). Oh sure, the chicken isn't as big as it is on the box, but it's delicious all the same, in my opinion.
Try MC's Chicken Alfredo with Broccoli (I forget the exact name of the dish), THAT is some awful stuff, the sauce is like water.

I agree, it is overcooked in the picture and the meal is really one of the best!

I've eaten this once before and have sworn to never eat it again. I don't care how you cook it -- this is pure crap in a plastic bowl.
