After last week's disappointing offerings from Emeril's Cajun Creations, it was almost a relief to return to the familiar: Lean Cuisine. Their products have been improving fairly steadily, and our panel was curious to see if today's two items, both labeled "Chef's Pick," would fare much better than our last visit with their Culinary Roundtable. Last time was a split decision, with the Thai-Style Chicken and its spicier cuisine doing much better than the too-sweet Glazed Chicken.
This week we chose to test the spicier item first: Chile Lime Chicken. This comes out of the microwave with a strong aroma of roasted corn, lime, cilantro and red chiles. The rice is just slightly overdone, and as usual would have held up to cooking better if it were brown rice instead of white. Two from Lean Cuisine's Culinary Collection

I love Salade Nicoise. It is, and has been, one of my all time favorite dishes. I was inspired to this salad by a recent chopped salad that I had at a restaurant. It seems complicated because you have to take the time to cook the eggs, potatoes and green beans, but the total hands on time is only about 20 minutes. It is worth every one of those minutes.
