Breaded chicken breast, marinara, mozzarella, and pasta come together in this frozen meal from Lean Cuisine’s Protein Kick line. At 300 calories, it’s built around a white meat chicken cutlet with tomato sauce and cheese over a modest pasta base, which is the same basic formula as a classic chicken Parmesan plate, just portioned for the freezer aisle. Microwave it from frozen, and the chicken usually stays firm enough to slice, while the pasta softens into a simple side. Compared with other Lean Cuisine meals, this one leans more on the protein count and less on extra sauce or vegetables.
