Pechuguitas de pollo asada

Pechuguitas de pollo asada is a sliced cooked chicken-breast product for sandwiches and cold plates, with the plain roast chicken taste that goes with that role. By our assessment, it does the dependable deli work of giving lean poultry that can be stacked, folded or paired with bread. The downside is that this style lives and dies by moisture and seasoning: if it is too plain, it reads as bland; if it is too lean, it can feel dry once sliced. In practice it is a convenience meat, not something that asks for attention on its own. It sits close to other cooked chicken breast cold cuts rather than to a fresh roast. The catalogue label as chicken-breast cold cut tells the story well enough.
