“Tastes like chicken.” We hear that often, and yet, it’s not terribly descriptive. White or dark meat? Grilled, fried, or roasted? Is it an Heirloom Chicken? Wait, what the heck is that? We’re so glad you asked! Trader Joe’s All Natural, Pasture Raised, Boneless Skinless Heirloom Chicken Breasts come from a recognized breed with a genetic line that traces back multiple generations. While many other chickens are raised very quickly and given antibiotics, our Heirlooms are slow-growth, pasture-raised birds, which means they are allowed to mature at a natural rate and forage for food in a natural environment. Additionally, instead of being water- or ice-chilled, (which can lead to water retention and muted flavor) our Heirloom Chickens are air-chilled.

So, what do all these carefully complied-to practices and attributes add up to? Chicken Breasts that taste like chicken—the way chicken was always meant to taste, you might say. They’re ideal for inclusion in all kinds of recipes. Try them marinated in Organic Kansas City Style BBQ Sauce, grilled, and served over a leafy green salad; seasoned with Cuban Style Citrusy Garlic Seasoning Blend and drizzled with a creamy lemon and caper sauce; or breaded with Panko, fried crisp, and doused with your favorite hot sauce for a spectacularly spicy chicken sandwich.
