I have never had canned chicken on its own before but decided to can one jar in with a canner run of chicken stew (same processing time).
I threw it in with some cooked mushrooms and some dehydrated/rehydrated broccoli (not the best choice, honestly ..bit chewy) and some pasta and holy cow I like it.
I am only feeding myself now so I am trying to find quick one pot meals that I can just have ready to go. I’ll be making more of this.

When I was a kid my Mom often made chicken salad with canned chicken to eat on rice cakes or crackers. It’s another great way to use canned chicken
Honestly, canned chicken has NO BUSINESS being SO good
Chicken salad is bomb – I love the leftover of chicken salad, make it in to curry chicken salad, out of this world
Woo! One of us! One of us!
Welcome to the “Hell YES I can chicken club!”
Its the only way to eat chicken
Which method are you using, and are you using chicken you bought at a store or fresh from a farm?
Works well in fajitas also, another quick option.
How do you make it?
Canned turkey is also good. I used to can it and we would eat it over biscuits. I would make gravy out of the juices.
Yum! Do you use breast, legs, or both?
It’s great! I inhale the stuff! Try chicken salad, it’s the bomb. 👍✌️
I love canned chicken and canned turkey. So many uses. But my absolute favorite is canned beef. So good for tacos, a Philly cheese steak sort of sandwich, stir fry, barbecue sandwiches, or just served over mashed potatoes. So delicious.
If I had known how stupid easy raw pack chicken is, I would’ve started ages ago. Now whenever I’m at the store I’ll pick up a couple long packs of boneless, skinless breasts and process them to add to the stack. Can’t hurt. I vill not eat ze bugz. 🪳
