HORMEL SQUARE TABLE Roasted Chicken Breasts & Gravy

HORMEL SQUARE TABLE Roasted Chicken Breasts & Gravy arrives on supermarket shelves as a convenient, ready-to-heat entrée aimed at shoppers wanting a quick, familiar dinner. You'll most often spot the 15 oz package in the canned or shelf-stable prepared meals aisle, stacked near other canned meats, boxed gravies, and microwaveable entrees rather than in the fresh meat case. It reads like a homestyle comfort option: roasted chicken in a brown gravy, positioned for weeknight dinners, emergency pantry stocking, or a simple meal when time is tight. The brand leans on Hormel's long-standing association with processed protein products and a no-fuss, family-oriented marketing angle; Square Table branding evokes communal, down-to-earth meals rather than gourmet aspiration. Labeling tends to emphasize familiar words like "roasted" and "chicken" and lists ingredients such as broth and gravy components, but the package does not carry organic certification and contains common processed-food cues—modified starches, stabilizers, and flavorings—rather than health-halo claims. Sensory expectations: slices or chunks of tender, mildly seasoned chicken bathed in a glossy, savory gravy thickened for cling and mouthfeel; texture is soft and saucy rather than crisp or freshly roasted. Packaging is designed for quick prep—heat on the stovetop or microwave and spoon over rice, potatoes, or mashed vegetables—making it part of a ritual of fast comfort cooking. From a processing context, it’s a manufactured, shelf-stable convenience meal containing several additives and industrially-modified ingredients to preserve texture, flavor, and shelf life.
