When thinking of chocolate, the natural first stop is to head straight to our bakery where we have tons of options for the chocolate lover. Our La Bella Romana bakery items are all made from scratch in our central bakery daily. Many recipes are our matriarch, Romana Caputo’s, recipes– just adapted to be made in larger batches so we can feed all families.

National Chicken Month

If you’re looking for an easy protein for dinner, chicken is always good! Chicken is a staple in diets worldwide for good reason. It’s a lean, low-fat source of protein that offers numerous health benefits. 

Chickens are packed with protein, essential vitamins, and minerals, making them a healthy choice for people of all ages. So if you have a picky eater or you’re looking to get some extra protein into your kids’ diets, chicken is a great option because you can prepare it in so many different ways.

From roasted to fried, grilled to poached, chickens can be prepared in countless ways to suit any taste. Different spices, marinades, dips… There are so many ways to enjoy chicken. 

At Caputo’s, we have tons of different chicken options that the whole family will enjoy. Here are 4 different options we offer that are simple and delicious!

Rotisserie Chicken

Already hot, this is great for a weeknight dinner! Rotisserie chicken is a chicken cooked on a rotisserie, using direct heat to cook because the chicken is placed next to the heat source. The chickens are put onto rods that rotate to ensure optimal juiciness and cooking. 

You can feel good about feeding it to your family. Our chickens are always fresh and never frozen. There are no added hormones or steroids and they are MSG free. In addition to these benefits, the taste is incredible!

Our chicken is known for its outstanding flavor and juiciness. We season it with a special herb rub. The special seasoning is made with a variety of different herbs and spices to give the chicken a unique and delicious flavor. It is our homemade blend that we took the time to test and develop until we got it to the special blend we were proud to feed you and your families!

Chicken Kabobs

Kabobs are a great way to incorporate many vegetables into your dinner without dirtying a lot of dishes. The grill adds great flavors to the protein as well as the vegetables. We offer kabobs together in our meat department. They come in chicken or beef and have peppers, onions, and tomatoes on them. You can get it plain and add your own flavors. You can also ask for them marinated and we will add our own marinade to the kabobs. All you have to do is put them on the grill and enjoy! These kabobs are also great in an air fryer!

Pre-Marinated chicken breast

We all know that the flavor of the main dishes has a lot to do with the marinades, that is why we offer tons of pre-marinated fish, chicken, and meat! In tons of varieties for whatever your taste buds are calling for, this is an easy BBQ staple! Garlic parmesan chicken breast, Mediterranean chicken, Greek chicken drumsticks, chicken fajitas, and more! They are great on their own and in sandwiches.
