Chicken Scallopini
What You Should Know
You'd spot this Chicken Scallopini in the refrigerated prepared foods case at Whole Foods or grab it for a quick weeknight skillet dinner — it reads like an easy, familiar “homemade” option with a breaded crunch. The vibe is convenient and comforting with a slightly indulgent edge; the long ingredient list (industrial breadcrumbs, added oils, dextrose, powdered cellulose and silicon dioxide) and ready-to-cook format indicate ultra-processed manufacturing designed for consistent texture and shelf stability.

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.
