What it is
Fully cooked diced chicken is pieces of chicken meat that have been cooked and then cut into small cubes. It is typically made from chicken breast or thigh meat and is often pre-seasoned or marinated. The cooking process ensures food safety and a ready-to-eat product.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add fully cooked diced chicken to provide a protein source and savory flavor in convenience foods. It is commonly found in frozen pizzas, pasta dishes, salads, soups, and frozen dinners. Its pre-cooked state makes it ideal for quick assembly and heating.
Health notes
Fully cooked diced chicken is a source of protein and other nutrients. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers chicken to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used as intended. Regulatory bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated chicken products. At typical consumption levels, it is considered a safe and nutritious food.
Allergen info
