Summer brings with it longer hours of sunshine for many, making for a seemingly longer day. Despite that fact, it often seems that there still aren't enough hours left in the day to do everything that we want or intend to do. During these times, we always appreciate delicous food products that provides lots of versatility and useage potential.
Shredded Chicken from Del Real Foods in Mira Loma, CA, is a "heat-and-serve" item that is made with chicken breast. Although fully-cooked, it must be refrigerated. Heating instructions, nutritional information, and recipes for use are included on the package sleeve.
What we liked:
Taste panel feedback on this one included "The chicken comes out moist and in its own juices when heated.", "Nice even texture...", "Instructions for heating are easy to follow.", "I can imagine multiple uses for the shredded chicken product", "I love that this item is fully cooked." and "Great flavor in this item - let's eat!"
