What it is

Dehydrated cooked chicken meat is chicken that has been cooked and then had most of its water removed. This process concentrates the flavor and makes it shelf-stable. It is often used as a convenient source of chicken flavor and protein.

Why it's used

Health notes

Dehydrated cooked chicken meat is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used for its intended purpose. It is a source of protein and other nutrients found in chicken. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar dried meat products. No significant health concerns are associated with its consumption at typical dietary levels.
