I tried this last night. I liked the chicken in it but I agree that the sauce was a little bland. I put pepper and garlic in the sauce to give it more taste.

I think it's the safest way to go, for JC to make their food on the bland side. You can always add flavorings and spices to suit your taste, but you can't take away flavors and spices. The meals will appeal to a broader spectrum of people - especially people with a less than adventurous palate. It helps me to look at the meals as blank canvases, just waiting for my own personal artistic touch. In the process, I learn to add flavor, variety and volume without adding calories and unwanted fats, etc. Skills we can take with us, when we start eating "real" food instead of our JC meals. |

Poozieny, you're funny!
I can't believe everyone is saying this dish is bland. It had WAY too much oregano for me! |

Viickie - I'm all about flavor, surprising my taste buds, trying new things. I know from other posts you've made, that you tend to be a more cautious eater. For instance, for me, I haven't had a good Indian (India Indian) meal unless I've broken out in a sweat (from the "heat"), or felt the wasabi sinus rush eating sushi. But, we're all different. The Hopi Indians see food as sustenance..... period. I love the simplicity of their traditional diet, and understand the philosophy behind their views on food. I'm the complete and total opposite. To me, if you gotta eat to survive, you might as well eat well. There's just too much variety, flavors, preparations, cultures to explore, to "waste time" in a food rut, eating the same old, same old, day after day, year after year. Fortunately (or maybe unfortunately.... since my love of good food has certainly contributed to my weight issues) my parents were adventurous eaters, too. Mom would try any recipe, and we always chose exotic (at least for those decades... the late 60s, early 70s) restaurants. If the food is over seasoned for you, volumize it with additional veggies and added sauce, to spread the seasoning over a larger quantity of food... to dilute the flavor a bit? |

Good suggestion! Oddly enough, I'm not really a cautious eater. I love spicy....the hotter the better. There are a few spices that I really object to and one of them is oregano. I love garlic too. Maybe that would drown it out.
For example, I love the Szechuan Pork. I found a spicy garlic chili Thai sauce that I use with it. Awesome! I haven't been volumizing much because there doesn't seem to be enough extra sauce for that in most entrees. I really didn't think about adding extra free sauce. I know what you mean about eating philosophy. I am a total live to eat kind of girl. I'm working hard to become a eat to live girl instead. My thought when starting JC was mindless program eating with not much preparation. I'm going to have to move off of that at some point because I'm going to be on this for at least 2 years or longer to get to goal. |

I'm actually on maintenance and have been eating my own food since November but when I see there's a new JC meal out I will give it a try.

I tried this tonight too. OMGosh it was good! I loved the chicken with the breading ... I practically inhaled it! I agree with the comment about the broccoli as well, it left a little to be desired.

The first the classico chicken Parmesan I had, I have no clue what happy. I could taste the Deep fried chicken in my month as i was putting is dish in the oven. The whole time it was cooking, I just can't wait to taste, especially after hearing all the rave about it. I get it out of the oven and planted up. Set down at the diner room table and take my first bit, making sure I got a little of everything- bow tie paste, Parmesan, and the deep fried chicken. I think I cook the dish in the oven to long, my bow tie was crunchy, but the Chicken, the Deep fried, Golden Brown Chicken is a different story. Over way the dish was go.
I'm going to eat it again this week. Can't wait- Deep fried chicken here I come!!!!!

QUOTE(benjisgirl @ Mar 16 2009, 09:12 AM) I just tried the chicken parm and I loved it!!! I cooked it a little in the microwave then took out the broccoli,I like to cook that separate. I put the pasta and the chicken in an oven proof dish top it with 2 tab low fat spag sauce then top it with 1 tab red fat mozzarella cheese. bake it until hot. I had to use my fat for the day for the cheese but it was so good I could have served it to company. Is this a permanent item? I think you may have the right idea. I tried it and I think I may have overcooked it. The chicken was chewy and with everyone else raving about it I think I need to try a redo. thanks |

I'm a Mesquite Chicken nut and am mourning the fact it is going away, but the Classico Chicken Parmesan will ease my grief! It hits all the right notes with bow pasta, parmesan cheese, sauce, and tender chicken. It is yummy enough I have to remind myself to eat slowly! It is pretty filling also. Hope it lasts a while in the Jenny stock. I like plating it with a nice dinner salad of mixed greens, tomatoes, mushrooms, etc., and balsamic dressing. It isn't exactly like going to an Italian restaurant, but it sure makes losing weight easier!!! |

Well, I tried the meal a few nights ago and it was good but not OMG good. I did enjoy the chicken though. I wish they would use breaded chicken like that for the chicken sandwiches instead of that hard rubbery disk they call grilled chicken that is used now.
Now, I will sit back and wait with anticipation for the return of the Turkey Panini and Spaghetti & Meatballs. I started JC after these 2 temp foods were discontinued. Glad to hear they are coming back next month on a permanent basis!!

This week I ordered two of them and had one tonight. I certainly hope they make this one a permanent addition to the JC menu. Delicious indeed! -------------------- PerkyOne

Classico Chicken Parmesan is my favorite food. I eat it every evening for dinner. My Center told me that this is not a permanent food. They said that I should contact Jenny Craig and that I want them to continue this food. Please everyone contact Jenny Craig to tell them to keep selling this food. I cannot do this by myself and need as many people as possible to contact Jenny Craig.

The new chicken parm. is absolutely great. Add some more brocolli. They need to make it permanent. It is to awesome not to be.
