What it is
These are pre-seasoned boneless, skinless chicken breasts ready for cooking. They are infused with the bright zest of lemon and the pungent bite of black peppercorns.

The seasoning is applied evenly, ensuring consistent flavor throughout the meat.
How people cook with it
This seasoned chicken is perfect for quick weeknight dinners or meal prep. It offers a flavorful base for many different dishes.
- Quick pan-seared main course
- Sliced for salads
- Diced for stir-fries
- Added to pasta dishes
You can cook these chicken breasts using several methods. Pan-searing them in a skillet over medium-high heat for about 6-8 minutes per side yields a nicely browned exterior and juicy interior. Baking them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes is another option, ensuring even cooking. Grilling them offers a smoky flavor. For a faster meal, you can also slice or dice the cooked chicken and add it to other dishes like pasta, rice, or salads. Ensure the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain chicken breasts, these are already seasoned with lemon and peppercorn, providing a distinct flavor profile without extra effort. This pre-seasoning saves time compared to marinating or seasoning raw chicken yourself, and the flavor is designed to complement a variety of cuisines.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused chicken breasts in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best to consume them within 2-3 days to maintain freshness and quality. Ensure the container is sealed to prevent drying out or absorbing other odors from the refrigerator.
