Episode 106: Boston Market Chicken Parmesan

01 Jun, 2009

Posted by: Gregory Ng: The Frozen Food Master

Breaded chicken and pasta all coated with marinara sauce and smothered in cheese. How can it get better than that? This Boston Market Chicken Parmesan has all the ingredients and comes from a rich tradition of comfort food. Unfortunately it also comes from a rich history of meals super rich in sodium and fat. Is the taste enough to overcome these imperfect nutritional facts? Leave it up to the Frozen Food Master to tell you.

Man o Man that looks good. Nothing like chicken parmesan. Thanks for the great idea. That's coming in my freezer real soon.

Yum. I'll have to try that! I used to live on Boston Market frozen mashed potatoes a couple of years ago, but I haven't tried any of their other meals.
Thanks for the review!

Greg -- I always enjoy your reviews. Your cooking knowledge is lacking, though. I wonder if you read the ingredients? Parmesan cheese, if used, is in the breading, not on top! I bet there IS parmesan in the breading, since parmesan has a LOT of sodium.

I didn't see any of the sauce..was there sauce in quantity? Why didn't you swirl the chicken or pasta around in it? Maybe you did, but it sure didn't look like it. Personally I also think if a dish has that much sodium, they should get docked a half point. You should be able to use garlic/basil or other spices in enough quantity to make up for lack of other flavors. To me, the over use of sodium is like putting salad dressing on salads. If the salad is made with decent ingredients, you shouldn't need any dressing. BTW, did you wack your eye? it looked like you had a bruise (left eye?) Maybe it was the hat bill shadow effect.

That's one big ass box. I hate sweaty chicken. I dig drier spaghetti too...I love leftover spaghetti. Man...I'm hungry for some Chicken Parm now. Great review Greg. Hope you are feeling better.

Really nice review Greg, I don't know if it was my small breakfast this morning or what, but it made me really hungry. Who doesn't love some chicken parm? My qualms with Boston Market products has always been their nutrition, or lack thereof, but this meal looked great!
