Weight Watchers Chicken & Lemon Risotto

'Marinated chicken slices in a delicate lemon zest sauce, with a splash of white wine, mixed with white rice and a vegetable medley,' Sounds good on first impressions. I'm on a bit of a pre-wedding diet at the moment, but with winter drawing in and my office sub zero, I'm always on the look out for an alternative to salads and cold cous cous. While I usually prefer to make my own meals, rice leaves me a bit uncertain after a recent bout of food poisoning, so ready made and at under 350 calories this seemed like a great solution. ~Nutrition~ Calories - 329 Protein - 45g Carbohydrate - 42.7g (6.5 sugars) Fat - 9g (3.9 ...  Read the complete review

I do believe that home cooked fresh meals are best and I enjoy cooking and experimenting in the kitchen...but like most I do have the sneaky ready meal in my freezer. Well being a student and sometimes I just want a yummy quick meal that requires zero thought and on days like these WeightWatchers Chicken and Lemon Risotto is pure perfection. I'm not an obsessive dieter (not at the moment anyway) but I do try to eat healthy and care about what I put in my body (discounting the copious amounts of chocolate I consume) so I opted for the WeightWatchers variety when I started experimenting with the occasional ready meal. Ready meals can be notoriously unhealthy, ...  Read the complete review

Described as 'Marinated chicken pieces in a delicate lemon zest sauce, with a splash of white wine, mixed with white rice and a vegetable medley' do Weight Watcher's meals come much luxurious than this posh nosh in their healthy eating range, folks?! Starving with the hunger, I was on my own a couple of days ago, *Bob the boyfriend was at his place, and my daughter was away visiting my Mum. Peace reigns throughout Serenity-land and it's been lovely...except when it comes to cooking. Now I don't know about you, but I never feel like compiling a meal from scratch if I get the odd night alone? Like most I do have the odd sneaky ...  Read the complete review

I have recently lost a couple of stone and while I'm about the size I want to be, obviously I don't want to undo my hard work and as such am continuing to watch what I eat. When I was dieting, I discovered Weight Watchers' wide range of microwave meals, and have to say I'm fairly impressed. This risotto has to be my favourite. Risotto is not the easiest dish to make, what with all the stirring and such, so it's nice to see microwave varieties cropping up which actually taste pretty decent. This meal microwaves from frozen in 7 1/2 minutes, and after a little stirring is the perfect consistency. I'm generally somewhat cautious about microwave meals ...  Read the complete review

There are some times I am left to fend for myself so in my opinion anything is fair game in the freezer even my mum's Weight Watchers stuff, lol! Now I'm a student it is time to customise myself with the microwave anyway :-P This 'Chicken & Lemon Risotto' is a dieting ready meal which actually tastes really good and has real lemon zest in it for added tanginess... The meal is boxed in a purple packet with a brown plastic tray covered in a clear film inside it that you just pierce if you are microwaving this or cooking in the oven. This ready meal is described as: 'Marinated chicken slices in a delicate lemon zest sauce, ...  Read the complete review
