English term or phrase: potted chicken
Far-flung distribution networks, new types of packaging and the practice of adding preservatives to food led to reports of producers selling "potted chicken" that didn't have any chicken and "butter" that consisted largely of hog lard. Critics went so far as to create a macabre jingle: "Mary had a little lamb, and when she saw it sicken, she shipped it off to packing town and now it's labeled chicken."

producto de pollo enlatado


Explanation:
Como puedes ver en el enlace, estos productos realmente existen. Nunca he visto "potted chicken", aunque sí es posible comprar carne de pollo enlatada, e incluso una gallina entera.

De todas formas, tu texto alude a productos cuyo contenido es dudoso, como los del vínculo.

guisado de pollo


Explanation:
Me parece que no se refiere exactamente al envase sino a lo que dice en la etiqueta, y se trata de pollo a la cacerola, en español queda mejor guisado de pollo
