Tyson Foods may have just created the ultimate comfort food with the debut of its Pizza-Flavored Chicken Nuggets. Bringing together the best of two iconic dishes, the new nuggets are sure to be a crowd pleaser at any party.
Just as the name suggests, Tyson's new Pizza-Flavored Chicken Nuggets consist of nugget-sized pieces of chicken stuffed with mozzarella cheese and then coated in a parmesan breading sprinkled with a pepperoni seasoning. While even Tyson's lead R&D scientist Shanna Motl was sketpical of the two dishes coming together, she explains that "when we actually made the first couple batches, I couldn’t believe how good it was." As a result, the new Pizza-Flavored Chicken Nuggets are now available at Meijer and HEB across the nation.
