Restaurant-Style Poultry Alternatives

Gardein Ultimate Chick'n Shares Protein-Rich Nuggets & Filet

Comforting menu items like chicken nuggets and chicken filets can now be enjoyed at home in the form of meatless poultry alternatives inspired by quick service restaurants. Gardein Ultimate Chick'n is available in Plant-Based Chick'n FIilets, which can be used to create hearty burgers and sandwiches, and Plant-Based Chick'n Nuggets, which are perfect for dipping.

Both of these meatless products are vegan and Non-GMO Project verified, plus they're packed with protein. While the nuggets share 15 grams of protein per serving, the Gardein Ultimate Plant-Based Chick'n FIilets share a generous 23 grams of protein per patty.

At a time when people are craving high-quality, restaurant-style comforts, these make-at-home frozen products help to simplify the process of creating nourishing lunches and dinners.
