Default Lean Cuisine Panini, anyone tried?

Lean Cuisine's latest line are paninis you "grill" in the Microwave (looks kinda like the matte silver stuff used to brown microwave pizzas) -- wondering if anyone here at 3FC tried them yet.

I tried 2 (steak, cheddar & mushroom and the chicken, spinach & mushroom) and they are both pretty good (the cheese sauce is a bit runny, but I guess that's to be expected for low-fat food) but I really need some veggies on the side to make this a filling meal. Nonetheless, it fulfills my panini cravings without putting me on a carb & fat overload.

Anyone else have thoughts on this?

I bought one this week, haven't tried it yet.

I ALWAYS supplement frozen entrees with vegetables, they rarely have a full serving (even if they claim to). I always look at them as entrees, not full meals.

I tried them, but I thought the chicken tasted funky, so I picked it off. I'd love to see them offer a meatless variety.

I was impressed with the little grill plate, and was surprised that the bread came out perfect

I've tried about 3 of them and I love them! My favorite so far is the chicken, spinach and mushroom. The southwestern one was pretty good, but I wasn't totally crazy about the steak, cheddar and mushroom. I haven't tried the club yet.

just had the southwest chicken with a side of veggies---it was good --cheesy with a flavorful southwest sauce that gives a spicy bite.

I also tried the chicken club panini, I too thought it was yummy and I believe it was 7 ww points. Trying to stay away from too much pre-packaged stuff but this was nice for a quick lunch!

I only tried the steak, cheddar, and mushroom. I really liked how it came out with the little grill plate. I'm not to big on mushrooms, but I couldn't taste them at all.. which was more than fine with me
