Hi there,
I've just eaten a piece of chicken breast that has me worried.
I bought 4 schnitzel type chicken breasts (just chicken in breadcrumbs) from a local poultry provider who supplies directly from the farm and the products are usually top rate.
Today one of the 4 schnitzels shriveled up in a strange way which I didn't think much of til I started eating. My first bite I assumed was just gristly and fatty (unusual as they're never fatty) but even that wasn't a huge deal. Then in my second bite I realised something was wrong. The whole piece was the same. The meat seemed cooked and the others were fine but it was really tough, hard and rubbery, without flavour.
Any ideas why it could be and if its potentially dangerous? I've had poisoning off chicken before, years ago and don't ever want that experience again. I'm also off on holiday tomorrow.
Any ideas? My only thought is that with my fridge playing up that one was frozen when I put it in the oven bit the others were fine.
Cheers in advance and happy new year to all!
