Chicken Scallopini
What You Should Know
You'd find this Whole Foods Chicken Scallopini in the refrigerated prepared foods or frozen aisle — an easy, heat-and-serve option for weeknight dinners or last-minute guests. The vibe is convenient and comforting, a slightly indulgent shortcut that evokes homemade breaded cutlets but is faster and more uniform. The long ingredient list with breadcrumbs, emulsifiers/anti-caking agents (powdered cellulose, silicon dioxide), flavor stabilizers (citric acid, dextrose) and multiple added oils signals industrial formulation aimed at consistent crunchy texture and shelf stability, consistent with ultra-processed products.

Common Questions about Chicken Scallopini
The Chicken Scallopini packs a solid protein punch with 20 grams per serving, making it a decent option if you’re looking for something filling. However, it's a bit higher in sodium (490 mg) than some may prefer, so it’s best enjoyed in moderation. Think of it as a convenient meal that fits into a balanced diet rather than a health food superstar.
