I've had my eye on these guys for awhile now but they were always $4.49-$4.99 and when your trying to stick to a budget, you don't appreciate being raped by overpriced, undersized stuffed "chicken" breasts! The last I went food shopping these puppies were marked down %50 still a little on the pricey side but a little reasonable.
In the packages, before opening... All looks good so far.
I cracked the baby open and tasted the sauce.... Blech! X( It tasted like over-sweetened, under-spiced, pizza sauce!!! Who the hell this pizza sauce is supposed to be "Santa Fe" Style, last time I checked Santa Fe was in New Mexico.... not Italy!
So I scraped off all the sauce, added chili powder, cumin powder and cayenne, and figured that now it would be more Santa-Fa-ish.
I fryed them up sauce-less, then added the sauce till it thicken up and cooked throughly.
Heres a poor-quality inside shot, my camera was not co-operating!
The flavor of the "chicken" itself, was very good like Gradein products always are. But the stuffing was mushy and not very flavorful... And you already now what I though of the sauce..... I wouldn't but this for full or half price again.
I give it 3 out of 5, the only reason it's not 2 stars is becasue the flavor and the texture of the "Meat" is always good with gardein.
Now I'm REALLY not sure about those! I've been staring at them for awhile on the shelf at the store trying to decide if I thought they looked good enough to spend the $ and so far I hadn't thought so. Now I am pretty sure I don't want to try it lol... LOVE all the Gardein stuff I've tried though, I'm doing reviews on them too! And I see you're on the MoFo this year! Yay!!! Me too! :) See you there!!!
