Bell & Evans launched a line of Gourmet Chicken Burgers made from whole-muscle dark meat chicken and chunky pieces of real fruit, vegetables and natural cheeses. Bell & Evans Gourmet Chicken Burgers are sold in 6oz portions that are nitrogen frozen and uncooked, locking in freshness and natural flavors. Three flavors are being introduced in the launch: Chicken Bacon & Sharp Cheddar, Roasted Portabella & Swiss, and Granny Smith Apple & Gouda. All three varieties are gluten free.

• Chicken Bacon & Sharp Cheddar
Packed with smoky, savory Bell & Evans Chicken Bacon pieces and natural Sharp Cheddar Cheese shreds

• Roasted Portabella & Swiss
Loaded with earthy, roasted Portabella Mushrooms and shredded natural Swiss Cheese

• Granny Smith Apple & Gouda
Full of diced, tart Granny Smith apples and natural, creamy Gouda Cheese with smoky seasonings

Made from simple ingredients, the burgers offer visual appeal and flavor. Bell & Evans Gourmet Chicken Burgers cook up and bite like a traditional burger but with fewer calories and less fat, making them a choice for health-conscious consumers.

Bell & Evans Gourmet Chicken Burgers debut less than a year after Bell & Evans introduced its Premium Chicken Meatballs to the consumer market. Similar to the gourmet burgers, the meatballs are made from Bell & Evans dark meat chicken and sold uncooked and nitrogen frozen in three varieties including traditional, Buffalo Seasoned and Parmesan Breaded with Mozzarella. Bell & Evans’ largest retail partners carry the meatballs including national distribution at Whole Foods Market.
