Perdue Perfect Portions Chicken Breasts
Perdue Perfect Portions are boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are sold in a package with 6 individually wrapped 4.8 ounce portions. All the single and 2 family households thank you Perdue for making our lives a little easier. The chicken breasts are clearly lean, and the nutrition facts are provided for each portion. That's the real beauty of this product, because of course you could buy a pack of chicken and individually portion it into ziplock bags yourself, but then you would also have to weigh each piece and then calculate the nutrition facts yourself.
Another thing I loved about Perdue Perfect Portions is that they have some pre-seasoned options available, like Tomato Basil, Teriyaki, Roasted Garlic with White Wine, Italian Style and Herb and Pepper, plus you can also buy it sans seasoning. Check out Epicurious for some recipes. I see they have attempted to replicate my World famous baked herb-crusted chicken breasts (well maybe mine isn't "World" famous - but it's famous in my house), and this is a simple easy recipe to try if you're just statrting to cook (or want to impress your girlfriend/ boyfriend with a beautifully cooked and tasty meal for Valentines Day).
One individually wrapped un-seasoned chicken breast from Perdue Perfect Portions is 4.8 ounces and provides 130 calories (140 - 160 if it is pre-seasoned), 1.5 grams of total fat, no saturated fat, 27% of the recommended daily amount for cholesterol, 15% of the RDA for sodium (350 mg), no carbohydrates and 29 grams of protein. The nutrition facts for all the varieties can be found at their website, along with some recipes like for the Chicken with Tomatoes and Polenta shown in the picture.
This convenience comes at a price of $7.86 for the package with 6 portions (chicken breasts are expensive in general). These should definitely be added to the grocery list though because we all get really busy sometimes and this will at lease give us a home cooked meal in 20 minutes. Unfortunately for you folks that don't live in the Mid-West, Southeast or Eastern US - I think that means you guys out West - Perdue Perfect Portions is not yet available in your area.

I saw this in the store and flipped out! I always end up making way more chicken then needed for a single gal which leads to dry untouched leftovers that end up in the garbage. These are so easy. Just defrost one in the fridge and in 20 minutes, I have a perfect meal. yay!!!
Yeah, these are great. I buy a pack every other week (though at my Kroger they cost $9.99...not $7.86). I buy them for the convenience factor.
These sound great! I'll have to find them once they're available in my area.
These are good! I have one tip though, if you freeze them: on the package, they say you can cook them straight from frozen, but I don't reccomend this. They come out really tough this way. They taste much better when thawed in the fridge!
These look so convenient. I would love to try them!
Also, please send me more information on the coupon!
Thanks,

I've been wondering about these. Wish you had mentioned if any of the seasoned chicken was good. I'm single and tend to only buy boneless skinless chicken, so these seem like a good option.
I've never seen these, but of course being in the west I may not have access to them.
I did get a bag of frozen chicken breasts from Costco that are all individually packaged like that, so it makes life a lot easier for my two-person-household! Some conveniences are worth a little extra cost.
I was just looking at those in the store the other day! What a coincidence.. I felt they were a bit expensive though :(
These look great! Especially for people living alone!
I can't wait to try these!
I can't wait to try these!
This is perfect for me because I hate having to trim off extra fat on supposedly lean cuts of chicken!
I've never seen these, but they do look convenient. However, I don't know if they're worth the price, despite the convenience of them. Around here, I can buy boneless, skinless chicken breasts for only $1.50 a pound, or bone-in, skin-on breasts for $0.99 a pound. Still, these would be great to have around for days when I just don't have time.
These look fantastic! I hardly ever buy chicken because it's just me and it's such a pain to make single servings. I'll have to keep an eye out for them.
I have bought these and love the convenience. However, I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but some of the breasts are not the same size. Some seem really big, and others are very small. I even weighed them and they were not even close to the same weight. I liked them, but I am a bit skeptical.
I have been eyeing these for awhile and wondered...I like Perdu chicken but was hesitant of cuts. Would love to try!
I love these. We currently have 2 Roasted Garlic & White Wine ones in the freezer. I take out two and put them in the sink to defrost. When my husband gets home he throws them on the grill, I bake two of those frozen Grands biscuits, put some bagged salad in a bowl, and we have a healthy, yummy meal.
with a coupon and a sale they would certainly be worth trying!
I also have the roasted garlic & white wine! I love them but how is it possible that they have 110 calories when the unseasoned ones have 130? Maybe they're smaller?
These sound good. I try to eat lean cuts of every meat. And I love coupons!
Yum! Perfect for the college student and I love coupons! :)
I would love to try these! Nice and convenient!
free food=always amusing
I lifestyle consist of eating very Light and Heathly, the perdue perfect portions are a great way to get slim. I can wait until keyfood and food emporium supermarkets get the new flavors.
I would love a coupon for a free pack! Living alone and cooking for 1 can be a bit of a chore sometimes. But, since I discovered the Perfect Portions, I have been motivated to cook at home more and I'm eating a lot healthier these days as well. If you have a Super Wal-Mart nearby, I suggest buying the Perfect Portions there - they are $2 less then any other grocery store around!
I love the Perfect Portions for me and my daughter. We both run on different schedules and dinner is rarely together anymore. We love to try different seasonings and will share with each other what worked and what didn't with our chicken.
i would lov to have a free pack or a coupon..I find these to be so simple to throw together a quick meal for my family...thanks
I would love to get a free pack .. or a coupon....I find these to be convient for my family and the short time it takes to prepare....thanks
