Banquet vs Devour Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese

Check out my review for Devour Buffalo Mac and Cheese here: http://evonathefoodlover.blogspot.com/2017/06/devour-buffalo-chicken-mac-cheese.html

So I'm in Food Lion looking for meals in the frozen food section to take to work and this Banquet meal catches my eye. Now to be honest I've always bypassed the Banquet meals simply because none of them looked appealing. After having the Devour Buffalo Mac and Cheese I'm really hooked.  As I picked up this the box I was really drawn to how the meal on the box looked of restaurant quality. I also appreciated that the chicken is all white meat because I expected rib meat to appear somewhere on the box. Although I was shopping for quick meals I could take to work, I decided to try this meal at home.

Straight out the box this looks promising. I give Banquet an A+ for presentation

This is how the meal looks after being heated up.I smelled the buffalo aroma as soon as I peeled back the plastic.

This is after I stirred the Mac. So what's the verdict? I actually like this meal however I have to crown Devour as the winner. The grilled chicken is delicious and you can definitely tell it's all white meat chicken. I absolutely love the garnishment of parsley for that touch of color. The buffalo flavor wasn't overwhelming at all. The only thing that I don't like is the thin sauce consistency of the mac and cheese. I'm sure if I wanted to I could have thickened it up with some shredded cheddar cheese but I'm judging this based off of first preparation with no adjustments. I'd still purchase this meal though. Also I do want to point out that I prepared both meals in the microwave as these kind of meals were made to be essentially quick and easy. I may try via oven to see if there's a difference in taste. If I do I will edit both posts.
