We're going on weeks and weeks for the Texas chicken. I don't mind it but it is getting pretty repetitive (kind of like the omelette).

Same boxed Greek salad on YYZ-EWR today.
No idea what went on in the back of either flight, but J was the same as it has been for a while.

Flying AC 155 YYZ-YYC in J on the 16th. Looks like the first day for the new menu featuring a new app, new dessert, and a cheese dish, but the same main. Coincidentally, also the first day of 789 (according the booking page) or 333 (according to the schedule). I'm just glad it's not the 7M8.

As a few of us have noted - with and without photos - the Texas Chicken is still there. From another thread:
Thanks to @mimo123 who posted a link to an interesting article in the Premium Economy meal thread, I noted some comments from Andrianna Pischos, manager of catering product design at AC.
I always assumed the Texas Chicken has been served on every afternoon eastbound transcon since December because AC bought a lifetime supply from somewhere.
Well, she said "we look at what can be sustained from a supply chain perspective", so..... 
Best line in the article was "Pischos says that Air Canada does have plans to launch new food “enhancements” later this summer". (ok, maybe AC FT has affected my ability to see the word "enhancement" in a positive light. LOL)

Recent flight in J from Toronto to Edmonton.
I could have done without the spinach (personal taste only) but overall it was really good (other than the cold bread). I absolutely loved the cheesecake.

Looking at the menu options on ac.com pasta appears to be a replacement for the chicken. Reviewing of the new menus from YYZ there are 4 different choices of pasta on the J menus.

@capedreamer
But, but, but, they are also non-meat meals for those so inclined.....when multiple choice was available.
That said, I went sifting through my years of AC meals and I present you with AC Pasta on a Plane
This was YYZ-FRA in 2016
This was YYZ-PHX rouge Jan 2017. Apologies for the bumpy ride.
This was YVR-YYZ Nov 2017
YVR-HKG in March 2018
YVR-YYZ March 2018
YVR-TPE April 2018
TPE-YVR Sept 2018
There was also an era where the chef had an obsession with mushrooms and there was one pasta dish with a heavy cream sauce and multiple varieties, none of which were edible. lol. I couldn't find the photo.
