How people cook with it
This canned chicken is a versatile ingredient for quick meals. It can be added to many recipes without needing to cook raw chicken.
- Salad topping
- Sandwich filling
- Soup addition
- Casserole component
To use, simply open the can and drain off any liquid. The chicken can then be flaked with a fork or chopped into smaller pieces. It is already cooked, so it just needs to be heated through in your dish. You can add it to pasta sauces, stir-fries, or mix it with mayonnaise and other seasonings for a chicken salad.
How it differs from similar foods

How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused chicken to a sealed container and refrigerate. It should be consumed within three to four days. Unopened cans can be stored in a cool, dry pantry for an extended period, as indicated by the best-by date on the can.
