In the kitchen and how to use it

Chicken and pork bologna combines both meats into the same smooth, finely ground deli sausage familiar from classic pork or beef bologna, with a mild, slightly savory flavor and uniform pink color. It is used identically to other bolognas: sliced for sandwiches, fried until the edges crisp for breakfast, or diced into casseroles and fried rice. The blend of meats tends to give a slightly lighter flavor than pure pork versions while keeping the same soft, springy texture.

Store opened packages tightly sealed in the refrigerator and use promptly, as with any sliced deli meat. A serving provides 336 calories per 100 g with 10.3 grams of protein, along with smaller amounts of calcium and vitamin C at 15% DV each per 100 g, contributions less common in most deli meats and worth noting if building a varied lunch plate. Its sodium runs high at 1240 mg per 100 g, so pairing it with unsalted bread and fresh vegetables helps balance a sandwich.
