With our family’s busy schedule, we always ensure Canned Chicken is in our kitchen. We love to get them at Costco (6 12oz cans per package) but you can also find it here! It has come in handy in the past when we wanted a quick dinner!
Canned Chicken normally has a long expiration date so you can stock up on it (especially if you find a good deal on them!) You can use it in any dish that calls for chopped or shredded chicken.
If you are heading to a food pantry soon, be on the lookout for Canned Chicken. In a lot of food pantries, it is a popular meat item they could give you. We recommend asking for it if they give you a choice because of the longer shelf life and you can make many yummy meals with it!
Here we have put together 20 different recipes that call for canned chicken! You can find pasta, Mexican dishes, appetizers, snacks, and more!
