Description
Savoie's Chicken Tasso 8oz brings the rich, smoky flavor of Louisiana tasso in a lighter chicken version made with premium chicken thighs and signature Cajun spices. This seasoned, slow-smoked chicken tasso delivers the same bold, peppery kick as classic pork tasso while giving cooks a poultry-based option for gumbo, jambalaya, beans, rice dishes, pasta, stews, sauces, and skillet meals.
Dice, slice, or cube Savoie's Chicken Tasso, then brown it in a skillet or simmer it into one-pot recipes so the smoky Cajun seasoning spreads through the whole dish instead of sitting there like decoration with a meat costume. Use it in chicken gumbo, shrimp pasta, white beans, red beans, jambalaya, creamy sauces, breakfast potatoes, smothered vegetables, and Cajun meal prep.

Additional Information
What is Tasso?: |
Tasso is a spicy, smoked, seasoned pork that comes from Louisiana Creole and Cajun cooking. It’s usually made from pork shoulder, heavily seasoned with Cajun spices, and hot-smoked to pack in flavor. |
How is Tasso different from regular ham?: |
Unlike traditional ham, Tasso is: Spicier and smokier – it’s coated in Cajun seasoning. Made from pork shoulder (not the hind leg like most hams). Used more as a seasoning meat than a main dish. |
How do you cook with Tasso?: |
Tasso is already fully cooked—you’re just reheating or using it to season dishes. Popular ways to use it: In Gumbo & Jambalaya, in Pasta or Alfredo to add a smoky Cajun twist, with Beans or Greens, or just as a Flavor Booster for Soups and Stews! |
Can I eat Tasso by itself?: |
Yes! It’s fully cooked, so you can slice and snack on it straight from the package. But it’s very bold and spicy, so most people use it as a flavor accent rather than a main protein. |
Is Tasso Spicy?: |
Yes, but it’s a warm Cajun heat, not overwhelmingly hot. The smoky spice blends beautifully into dishes. |
Is Tasso Keto/Low-Carb Friendly?: |
Absolutely. It’s all protein, fat, and seasoning—no carbs. Perfect for keto, paleo, and low-carb diets. |
