Livingston, Calif. – As more Americans rely on fresh, distinctive flavors and a “foodie” experience at home, Foster Farms introduces a new fresh chicken experience with Oven Ready Entrées, allowing consumers to quickly prepare chef-inspired, flavorful chicken meals at home. Foster Farms developed the new entrées with bold flavors in mind: the five varieties of Oven Ready Entrées feature fresh chicken breasts combined with Chile Verde, Roasted Red Pepper, Buffalo, Zesty Thai or Honey Roasted Garlic sauces. Each product package contains two all-natural, American Humane Certified™, 99% fat free, fresh chicken breasts in a recyclable, oven-safe tray.
Foster Farms Oven Ready Entrées bridge several current food trends: Americans increasingly depend on chicken as their preferred protein source , request healthy indulgences and prefer flavorful and ethnically diverse foods. Foster Farms Oven Ready Entrées provide home chefs an accessible, full-flavored meal without the hassle of timely preparation or the expense of dining out.
“Consumers are looking for a healthier and more authentic dinner option,” said Daniel Fripp, Marketing Manager for Foster Farms. “Foster Farms Oven Ready Entrées offer convenience, robust flavor and a satisfying oven-roasted taste experience for consumers. We’re proud to offer the highest quality, American Humane Certified fresh chicken with the convenience of a ready-to-cook entrée. Foster Farms Oven Ready Entrées are a new solution for delicious and simple, fast meals served hot out of the oven.”
An innovative, recyclable tray is a key element of the Foster Farms Oven Ready Entrées design. The oven-ready materials require just a simple slit in the film prior to being placed in the oven for 30 minutes, greatly reducing kitchen preparation and clean-up time.
