Review: Barbecue Chicken and Chicken and Stuffing are among the latest additions to Green Giant's Create a Meal! line of meal starters. While nobody would mistake these casseroles as made from scratch, the frozen bags of vegetables and sauce (you add 1 pound of uncooked chicken strips) are convenient. The Barbecue flavor offers chicken, potatoes, lots of carrots, green beans and corn in a mild sauce. The Chicken and Stuffing, strongly flavored with sage, comes with its own gravy. Both dishes also can be made with less chicken or without meat at all.
