Kellogg's recently teamed up with Mistica Foods to launch a line of boneless Chicken Bites that are breaded with Cheez-It crackers. With the growing demand for frozen foods that are made for sharing, this new chicken appetizer puts a creative twist on two familiar products.
The new Breaded Boneless Chicken Bites from Mistica Foods are bite-sized chicken nuggets that are made for snacking or for sharing as an appetizer. Each bite is made from hand-cut, whole-muscle chicken breast and rib meat for maximum flavor. Each bite is then breaded with Cheez-It crackers to add a delightfully crunchy texture and the familiar taste of cheese. The idea is to take the at-home tradition of crushing crackers up as breading and turning it into a ready-to-cook appetizer that can be prepared in virtually no time at all.
