To use Encore Canned Chicken Breast, simply open the can and drain the liquid. The chicken is already cooked and ready to be incorporated into your recipes. You can flake it with a fork for salads or sandwiches, or chop it for use in cooked dishes like casseroles or pasta sauces. It can be heated through in any recipe that calls for cooked chicken. Its pre-cooked state saves significant preparation time.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh chicken, this canned version is shelf-stable and requires no refrigeration until opened. It also has a softer texture due to the canning process, which can be beneficial for certain dishes where a very tender chicken is desired. The convenience factor is its primary distinction.

How to keep the rest
Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place. Once opened, transfer any unused chicken to a covered container and refrigerate. It should be consumed within a few days of opening for best quality and safety.
