About CHICKEN TINGA
Kroger Chicken Tinga is a prepared cooked chicken product from The Kroger Co.'s Kroger brand, sold in the Cooked and Prepared category. Chicken tinga is a Mexican preparation of shredded chicken in a chipotle-tomato sauce originating from the state of Puebla, and this commercial version is formatted as a ready-to-heat protein filling suitable for tacos, tostadas, burritos, or similar applications across Kroger, Fred Meyer, King Soopers, and other banner stores.
Chicken breast with rib meat forms the protein base, noted as containing up to 15% of a solution of water, salt, and cornstarch for moisture retention. Crushed tomatoes (with tomato puree), onions, water, and bell pepper follow. Chipotle pepper in adobo sauce — itself composed of chipotle peppers, water, tomato puree, vegetable oil, wheat flour, salt, vinegar, starch, onion powder, garlic powder, caramel color, and spices — provides the characteristic smoky heat of the dish. Vegetable oil, tomato paste, sugar, sea salt, garlic, vinegar, cumin, cornstarch, and oregano complete the sauce. The chipotle adobo component contains wheat flour, which is a significant allergen consideration.
Nutrition per 100 grams shows 93 calories, 3.57 g fat, 5 g carbohydrates, 9.29 g protein, and 0.70 g fiber — a low calorie density with a favorable protein-to-calorie ratio. At over 9 g protein per 100 g and under 100 calories, this is a lean prepared protein. However, the wheat in the chipotle adobo makes it unsuitable for those avoiding gluten. No dairy or egg ingredients are present. The product is not vegetarian or vegan.
