Lightly Breaded Chicken Breast Bites
One of my go-to ingredients for quick and easy meals, frozen lightly breaded chicken breast bites, chunks, strips, and filets always have a place in my freezer. On this page you will find a collection of recipes using frozen chicken to make everything from breakfast burritos and chicken caesar wraps to high protein rice bowls.
Some of my favorite brands for lightly breaded frozen chicken include Just Bare and Kirkland Signature (Costco), Perdue, Tyson, and Realgood Foods. One thing I always like to point out is that different brands use different methods to make the chicken.
Perdue, for instance, fully bakes the chicken before freezing. While others may “set” the breading by pressure frying in oil first. If a brand doesn’t specifically mention the chicken being baked instead of fried, it’s probably fried.
I’ve found this doesn’t really impact the nutrition facts as much as you would think. So if you’re only focused on the macros, any lightly breaded chicken option will work for you.
