We have done MANY Lean Cuisine reviews, but LC is one company that's constantly adding new products & improving existing ones. Recently, the company let me know about the Lean Cuisine Fajita-Style Chicken Spring Rolls, and I was really stoked to review it. The description reads, "white meat" chipotle chicken,corn,black beans,bell peppers and onions.

Let me tell you, when this first comes out of the microwave, the ends of the spring rolls are not a pretty sight of chicken, corn and onions. Instead it's like a blackened, congealed mass, and after microwaving, there are some oily patches on the "crisping sleeve". Nevertheless, if it's one thing I've learned - it's that sometimes the most unappetizing looking products taste the best (just check out Tasty Bite Madras Lentils Review). So I bit into a roll and was rewarded with a delicious, crispy, spring roll. I could taste the different textures of crunchy corn & chicken (which really didn't have a taste). It wasn't very spicy, but the more you eat, the more the spiciness comes out. Overall, I liked the taste BUT there is no way 1 serving is going to be a filling lunch or dinner. It's either eat both servings (2 serving come in a box) or pair 1 serving with something like Amy's Organic Fire Roasted Southwestern Vegetable Soup.
sponsorEach serving of 3 Lean Cuisine Fajita-Style Chicken Spring Rolls provides 200 calories, 7 grams of total fat, 1.5 grams of which is saturated (11% and 7% of the daily value), 580 mg of sodium (24% of the DV), 2 grams of fiber, 3 grams of sugars and 15 grams of protein. The ingredients list isn't too lengthy and has mostly recognizable ingredients.
I received sample of Lean Cuisine Fajita-Style Chicken Spring Rolls but they are widely available in the supermarket aisle, and it's usually on sale - anywhere from 2 or 3 for $10.00 I would buy this again, but definitely not to eat by itself. Similar products that are just as tasty include Trader Joe's Lemongrass Chicken Stix and Kahiki Naturals Vegetable Egg Rolls.
