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.
