One of my fav
I really enjoy this meal, I usually have it at least once a week. It’s pretty small, so I often have two at once. The quality control of the chicken is excellent. Frozen chicken is often hard to find in good quality in my experience but I rarely have any issues with this dish. I would enjoy seeing it in a larger size

The pesto taste in this was really good. Maybe 2 pieces of chicken, not so great.

Not a fave anymore
This used to be my favorite, then they changed the chicken to spongy chunks. It’s inedible now.

Tasty quick meal
Simple microwave instructions to a quick, well seasoned chicken pesto but I prefer cooking mine an extra minute or two rather than the recommended time on the box. The sauce, chicken and noodles have a great flavor but I don't like the texture of the cheese being gritty and dry rather than when I added more cheese to make it creamy and saucy. Definitely adding to my grocery list again!

Delicious satisfying meal every time!
I've been buying this for over a year because of the consistent quality of the product. The pesto is perfection and the chicken is tender chunks of breast that stay moist throughout the cooking process.

Terrible
I'm so saddened by the quality and texture of the Chicken Pesto Rigatoni meal, now. For years this was my absolute favorite Stouffer's meal. The texture of the chicken is like rubber now ??

Too Pricey
Tastes good but it shouldn’t cost more than the other tv dinners that are the same size and brand as this one.

Okay...... not he best. Just got boil your own
It’s my 1st time eating frozen food and this was kid- I couldn’t taste anything only salt and cheese but it’s easy to mix sauces in it so that it tats yea better. If you’re looking for a microwave meal to eat by itself…. This is not it

NOT BAD
THE PESTO SAUCE WAS GOOD. NICE FLAVOR. I WISH THE CHICKEN WASN'T CUT UP INTO CHUNKS. THE PASTA WAS ALITTLE TOO AL DENTE FOR MY LIKING, BUT OVERALL, A GOOD MEAL....TASTY.

Never again
I had high hopes for this frozen meal. But I should have remembered that the picture on the box NEVER EVER matches what is inside it. Tender chicken? Ugh, No. Pasta didn't even look like the pasta on the box. I really gotta stop buying Stouffers (and lean Cuisine) products. I keep hoping, but keep getting disappointed.
