Chicken Scallopini Family Meal
What You Should Know
You'd spot this in the grocery's prepared meals or refrigerated family-meal section — a heat-and-serve chicken scallopini with mashed potatoes and green beans aimed at an easy weeknight or family dinner. It gives a comforting, nostalgic home-cooked vibe, but the long list of industrial ingredients (breaded chicken with added sugars and oils, anti-caking agents, pH adjusters, preservatives and reconstituted components) points to engineered textures, high sodium and extended shelf-life typical of ultra-processed products.
