As a keen follower of many a diet, I have found that most of the recipies require chicken breasts. With a recession on at the moment, you will appreciate that supermarket chicken breasts can be a tad on the expensive side, anything from £3 for two to £6 for four fresh ones. Even the smartprice fresh are around a fiver for three. On one shopping tripo I noticed a 1kg bag of smart price frozen chicken breasts for £2.99, (they are up around the £3.99 mark now). I decided to give them a whirl as they were not going to break the bank. When I knew I was going to need them I took a couple out of the bag to defrost. Now, what I will say is they are ...  Read the complete review

Smart Price Chicken. Like everyone in the credit crunch I am trying to save as much as ossible on food shopping and bought these a while back to start with. We rarely ate chicken because it was so expensive to use the free range happy chickens who had had a wonderful life running round a farm. If you have the mone go ahead but I do not hence why these are a regular in my household. The packaging is basic as is all smart price items. They come in 400g and 1Kg bags and cost £1.20 for the smaller and £3 odd for the larger bag. Contained are 6+ large fillets which are 82% chicken and added water and stabalisers. I continue to ...  Read the complete review

My mum sometimes does an online shop from Asda and because she likes some of their Smart Price stuff she tried different things each time because they are quite often as good as the brand names and loads cheaper. These chicken breast fillets were a waste of money and she said herself that she'd have been better off spending the £6.00 our butchers wants for the same weight than buying these for £3.00 and I agree with her. You get quite a lot of chicken for your money and all the chicken breasts are big but they are full of water and even when they were defrosting we could see them shrinking as all the water melted out of them and that was before we'd ...  Read the complete review

I'm not on the "free range" bandwagon and am happy to try the value meat cuts. Some I'll buy again, some I won't, but that's the same across the board, be it a top of the range or mid price item. If I like it then I'll buy it. Asda smart price chicken breast fillets are found in the freezer aisle. Each bag contains 1kilo of breast which have added water, salt, dextrose and stabilisers. Generally a bag costs between £3 - £4.50 depending on what offers are available. I find they normally contain around 6 fillets, a mixture of sizes and shapes but even the smallest is a good size. I defrost over night in the fridge in a sealed container ...  Read the complete review

Chicken for the credit crunch is probably the best way I can describe this product. 4 chicken breast pieces for £1.20 sounds like an ultimate bargain....and it is for the price and what you get for the price. Being a full time worker I dont always have time to go home via the supermarket for fresh, free range, organic, killed with a smile on its face food, and often, sad to say, I cant afford to pay the premium price attached to these kinds of fresh produce. Having chicken in the freezer and taking it out the night before/morning before work and placing it in the fridge, means that on returning from work I have chicken there ready to cook. I like ...  Read the complete review
