Chicken Scallopini
What You Should Know
You'd spot this in the refrigerated prepared foods or grab-and-go section at Whole Foods, an easy pick for a quick weeknight meal or a simple dinner party main. It gives a comforting, slightly indulgent vibe—think nostalgic breaded cutlets made convenient—with a crispy texture and uniform flavor. The ingredient list (refined starches, industrial oils, anti‑caking agents, powdered cellulose and other additives) and the ready-to-cook breading point to industrial processing typical of ultra-processed items.

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.
