asda - breaded chicken fillet

Are they re- formed?

Chopped and shaped, Coop

Trust you to be interested in chicken, coop.   I'll get my coat

Any added water?

Or Mice ?

Breaded chicken is not always chicken and normally comes from Thailand.

Think 52 per cent of this is not chicken

I think there may be bread in the breaded chicken

Crumbs!! 

I looked on their website - it is 68% chicken and guarantees it is 100% chicken breast. If this is the case why does it need to be chopped and shaped.  Perhaps they shape it into pieces so that the ratio of breadcrumbs to meat is altered to make the product cheaper; assuming of course that Asda breadcrumbs are cheaper than Asda chicken.  Whatever I think customers should be told.

What is ASDA like, I have never been in one.

..."they're bootiful!" ....

Presumably it is chopped and shaped to help make a standard weight product?

kenny mann's grand-daughter is  just not happy about this whole situation.

what is it chopped and shaped into the shape of?

They might say its chicken but who really knows what is

If it is chopped up, they must surely use some glue to stick it all back togethers into a 'shape'.

chicken is never chopped it's cut with a knife, unless it was never chicken to start with.

It’s similar to what’s known in the food industry as “meat slurry,” or the emulsified chicken meat designed for chicken nuggets,breaded products, goujons etc

They found that the part of the chicken you think you’re getting—striated muscle—is not the predominant ingredient. Fat, bone, nerve, connective tissue, and epithelium were present in equal or greater quantities than chicken meat.

Mechanically separated meat (MSM) and mechanically separated poultry (MSP) are terms used to refer to products created by mechanization which allows meat processors to recover edible meat tissue from the carcasses of animals.

Glued together with gelatin and breaded for your dinning pleasure...

Buon Appetito !

Who found ? and were they talking about  Asda's - breaded chicken fillets?

M n S southern fried tender fillets, superb

will hav a try

what's the diff free range eggs , not caged eggs -- asda

I've got a box of 6 in the freezer actually .. very nice with chips , egg & spaghetti Hoops (and here was me wondering what the spaghetti hoops were really made of)

I just stick mine between a Hovis and stick it in the oven for an hour.

Guys, it's so bloody easy to make your own breaded chicken (or breaded fish etc etc).

- Take one breast in hand
- Dip it in flour.
- Then dip it in beaten egg.
- Then dip in breadcrumbs.
- Fry or bake.
- And enjoy.

Sounds a bit like hard work to some of yous but believe me, if I can do it, you can and its tastier too

Oh crumbs ..a Chef..

If they are stating that the chicken content is 100% breast meat, it cannot legally contain chicken which is not that. This description would specifically exclude most, BUT not all that stuff stated in Tictacman's post.   

Not difficult is it really, don't buy processed chicken - buy it whole or in whole pieces, preferably from your local butcher, or a source you know and trust.

thx gawd a chef has arrived

why flour?

xmoneyx - its to make the beaten egg stick. Hth

KFC the daddy

How can they get away with calling it a fillet, when it's anything but?

You wouldn't stand for that with "Fillet Steak"!

As already said, just make your own.

Cut the breasts, to a size which will suit, after beating thinly.

Same thing with Pork, to make none Veal "Schnitzel"....

Add freshly grated Parmesan to the breadcrumbs, and you are now a Michelin-starred chef

Surprise yourself, by making a sauce with mushrooms, butter and flour + white wine, and water as appropriate.

Do not, under any circumstances, serve it on a roofing slate.

What is the best type of bread for making breadcrumbs?

I know some loaves can be rather doughty and I would imagine they'd be not very good for breadcrumbs.
Also is there another way to make breadcrumbs without using a grater as I don't have one?

White is best imo.

Main thing is it must be dry, so either leave it to dry, or toast it gently.

No way can you use a grater!
Best thing is in a blender with metal blades.....

Toast it gently and then blender it - sound like a good idea will give it a try, thank you Aunty.

making breadcrumbs a step too far for me

xmoneyx just between you and me  I haven't got a blender, I   didn't have the heart to tell Aunty this but I'm going to try rubbing two pieces of toast together and see what happens.

I did wonder, about you having a blender - when you said you didn't have a grater!

I don't need a grater, when I buy cheese I buy it already grated. There may be other things that a grater may be  used for but I don't know what.

nutmeg i suppose but that tastes horrible.

It looks like you may need to buy some ready-blended breadcrumbs.

A grater is essential kit, if only just for Parmesan!

I have to say that I now buy ready-grated parmesan.  What a time and finger saver!

You can't, to my knowledge, get ready grated "Parmigiana Reggiano"!"

If you're talking about the little tubs of dried powder, that smells like dried and ground vomit,
that has never seen Parmesan. It's so called "parmesan style".

The irony is that, whilst you may think that "Parmigiana Reggiano" is expensive, it isn't as, when grated, you end up with
a much larger volume and, taste wise, there is no comparison!

As for grating your fingers, I never once did that, in all of my thirty two years!

is your nickname stumpy

his name sake Swampy,road protestor Devon, died recently. heart trouble.

refused a bye pass

Mr McCoy,
