Coupon – $2 off Perdue Frozen Fully Cooked Chicken
Our branded retail poultry products are sold in leading grocery, club and warehouse stores from Maine to Florida, and extending into the Southeast and Midwest – a market encompassing almost 40 percent of the nation’s population. In fact, we are the number-one selling brand of premium fresh chicken in the eastern U.S.
Usually, I buy whatever chicken breasts are on sale. Well, a few weeks ago, Peapod priced Perdue Skinless Chicken Breasts at 50% off and I decided to “live a little.” The minute I opened the package, I could see why Perdue is sometimes an expensive brand. There were three large breasts — beautiful meat scrupulously trimmed and prepared and possessing a nice dense quality (less than 1% retained water). I have rarely seen such nice chicken. Each breast was large and split down the side which would have facilitated stuffing if I had been so inclined.
STATS:
Serving size is a little confusing here, as to me a chicken breast constitutes a serving in itself but Perdue considers a serving to be four ounces with “servings per container varied.” This is a tad unrealistic because I can tell you that wild horses probably couldn’t have got me to split one of these chicken breasts with someone else! I also have to wonder if the ounces involved in a “serving” represent weight before or after cooking which could make a big difference. At any rate, a 4 oz. serving contains 110 calories with ten calories from fat. There are one gram total fat, 75 mg. cholesterol, 45 mg. sodium, zero total carbs, 26% protein and 6% Iron.
TASTE TIP:
Perdue is the “gold standard” when it comes to chicken. Perdue Skinless Chicken Breasts are best when lightly seasoned with Lawry’s Seasoned Salt and coarse black pepper and baked in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes … OR you can do what I did — put the chicken breasts in the oven and return to living room, there to sit down and fall asleep for an hour and a half! Even this couldn’t hurt this product which now had a golden but not prohibitively crispy crust with inner meat which was still moist, tender and flavorful, rather like fried chicken without the extra fat and carbs. The leftovers were just as enjoyable even after they had been chilled.
