What it is

To cook, you can pan-fry them in a skillet with a little oil until they are golden brown and cooked through. They also bake well in the oven, often seasoned with herbs and spices. For a quick meal, add them to a simmering sauce or broth. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety. They can be marinated beforehand to add extra flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike whole chicken breasts, these chunks are already portioned, saving preparation time. Their smaller size means they cook faster than larger cuts. This makes them suitable for dishes where smaller pieces of chicken are desired, such as in pasta sauces or mixed vegetable dishes.
