Appetizing Muse

I've never been one to extol the virtues of frozen dinners. Aside from Marie Callender's pot pies, frozen dinners these days are nothing to commemorate. Sodium content in the prepackaged meals is horrendous, and the health value of most leaves a lot to be desired.

However, over the last few days I had the occasion to sample two of Boston Market's frozen dinners: country fried chicken and parmesan chicken.

Both dinners were excellent. The vegetables that came with the country fried chicken (quartered red potatoes with skins and green beans) tasted as if they had been frozen fresh, and the flavor of the meat was surprisingly enjoyable. The parmesan chicken was tender with a light tomato sauce, another surprise because I always find chicken breast meat to be dry and uninspiring.
