it could be. I'm listing the item number to make it
easy to find in the PDF document. The first few

My analysis is it's good in many forms! Thanks Nomad!

Relatively low fat content and 218 calories for a 1/2 fried chicken breast isn't too bad.

It has been awhile since I have had one - it's on the list now!
