Hormel Oven Roasted Chicken Breast
What it is
This is pre-cooked chicken breast and rib meat packed in broth. It is made from chicken that has been roasted in an oven. The broth helps keep the chicken moist and flavorful. It is a shelf-stable product that can be stored at room temperature until opened.
How people cook with it
This chicken is very versatile and can be added to many dishes.
- Salads
- Sandwiches
- Soups
- Casseroles
To use, simply open the package and drain the broth if desired. The chicken can be eaten cold directly from the package, making it ideal for quick lunches or snacks. For hot dishes, it can be added to soups, stews, or casseroles during the last few minutes of cooking to heat through. It can also be chopped or shredded and used as a filling for tacos, wraps, or quesadillas. The broth can be used in recipes for added flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike raw chicken, this product is fully cooked and ready to eat, saving significant preparation time. It is also shelf-stable, meaning it does not require refrigeration before opening, unlike refrigerated cooked chicken products. The inclusion of broth ensures a moist texture.
How to keep the rest
Store unopened packages in a cool, dry place. Once opened, refrigerate any unused chicken and consume within a few days. It is best to transfer any leftover chicken to an airtight container before refrigerating.
