Bruschetta Chicken Pasta
I was listening to AIR1 on my way to work and heard that TGI Friday’s was offering buy 1 get 1 free coupons on their website. I got to work, went to the website and downloaded the coupon. I had not been to TGI Friday’s in about a year and it sounded good. Arriving at the restaurant the parking lot was packed. It appeared that the coupon campaign was good for business!
I was very hungry and everything on the menu looked and sounded good. I decided to try the Bruschetta Chicken Pasta. When the meal arrived it didn’t look as good as the picture on the menu . . . but it tasted great! The tomatoes tasted like they were fresh cut and not from a can, there was a good amount of garlic but not to much, the chicken was grilled and had a slight smokey flavor. There was a light flavor of basalmic vinigar that actually added a mild sweetness to the pasta dish.
When I first got the plate of pasta it didn’t look very big. This was deceiving because the plate was deep and it was a substantial portion of food. In fact the portion was just right, I was full but not over full and didn’t have any left overs. For me this is a good thing because left overs have a tendancy to get thrown away because they just set in the fridge.
With the buy 1 entre and get one free coupon my wife and I were able to eat, get a side of sweet potato fries and an iced tea for just under $25 including the tip. Without the coupon this would not have been a budget meal but with the coupon it was very affordable and very enjoyable.
TGI Friday’s is located on Tittabawassee in the same parking lot as the Saginaw Mall.
