Chicken breast replaces beef mince as Kiwis' favourite meatStuff.co.nz Mince used to be the most popular meat in the supermarket food aisle - but not anymore. New Zealanders' appetite for chicken breast meat has soared, as poultry eclipses mince as the preferred protein in the supermarket meat aisle. The boneless chicken breast (pictured here wrapped in bacon) is emerging as the go-to meat dish in New Zealand supermarkets.
