"A baked chicken breast and mashed potatoes sound pretty hard to mess up, but Stouffer's somehow managed to botch this meal completely. Upon visual inspection, it already underdelivers when compared to the picture on the box. We tried to give it the benefit of the doubt, as most frozen meals undergo some visual degradation. Unfortunately, the taste and texture of the chicken and mashed potatoes were even worse than they looked."
"The chicken breast was so bad it was borderline inedible, and it wasn't for lack of trying either. The microwave dried it out completely, so trying to bite into it was like biting into a tire. To add insult to injury, the chicken had absolutely no seasoning, so even the shreds we managed to yank off this rock hard chunk of meat were tasteless."
Stouffer's produces a wide variety of frozen dinners comparable to Banquet, Marie Callender's, and Hungry Man. Twelve Stouffer's frozen dinners were ranked based on taste, visual appeal, and overall nourishment. Stouffer's baked chicken and mashed potatoes ranked last due to poor appearance, dry and flavorless chicken, and bland, grainy mashed potatoes. The microwave rendered the chicken extremely dry and unseasoned, making it difficult to chew. The mashed potatoes lacked flavor and had an unpleasant grainy texture. The accompanying savory gravy was acceptable but insufficient to compensate for the meal's deficiencies. Walmart customer reviews echoed similar disappointment.
