i'd almost certainly eat it, even though i wonder every time. i'd use the sell by date on the package it came in. maybe 1-2 days after that date, but i don't have anything to back that up.

It doesn't smell bad, and the color is hard to tell because it has seasoning on it. Fuck, it's two chicken breasts, can't let them go to waste. I'm going for it.

They will be good 7-10 days provided they are stored properly (ie not on the front seat of your car)....

Go for it

The smell test will tell the truth

Also, microwave it. That will kill any bad bacteria.

food can still be bad even if it smells and looks good.
