What it is

Cooked white chicken meat is the flesh from the breast or wing of a chicken that has been heated to a safe internal temperature. It is typically cooked by boiling, roasting, or steaming, and is often deboned and skinless. This process makes the meat tender and ready for use in various food products.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add cooked white chicken meat primarily for its protein content and savory flavor. It serves as a main ingredient or a protein source in a wide variety of prepared foods. Common uses include canned soups, frozen dinners, pasta dishes, salads, and sandwiches.

Health notes

Cooked white chicken meat is a natural food ingredient and is not subject to FDA additive regulations. It is a good source of protein, niacin, and selenium. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recommends safe cooking temperatures for poultry to prevent foodborne illness. Generally, when consumed as part of a balanced diet, it does not pose health risks.

Allergen info
