    Buffalo Chicken Dip

    Canned chicken - drained well
    Franks Red Hot
    Light Ranch Dressing
    Cheddar cheese

    mix all ingredients and heat, serve warm with your favorite chips or crackers

    YUMMMMMMMM!!!

    I also have a small 5oz can of chicken (drained) with a packet of light mayo as part of my lunch at work.

    Yikes! I think this will give me nightmares. It's like watching a mutant being born.

    I like to use it when I'm trying to get lunch ready in a hurry, it's good to bring along w/ my spinach salad and a little bit of homemade dressing, gives you protein quick. A lot of sodium though so I try to pre cook chicken breast if I have the time.

    the sodium? Not judging by any means, its just a thought, since fresh chicken tends to dry out fairly quickly.

    Look on pinterest- I've found a few recipes on there that use it. I use it for buffalo chicken dip (not that I eat that very much anymore), lettuce wraps (mixed with some sesame sauce and the Asian coleslaw blend), chicken soups, quesadillas, etc. I prefer to use fresh chicken breasts if I can, but if I don't have any or need to make something quick, I'm definitely not above using canned :)

    We used canned chicken, cream of mushroom soup, canned mixed veggies, and frozen pie crusts to make pot pies when I was growing up.

    I've used canned chicken (the kind that comes in water like tuna, not in lard or whatever that picture was) before. I just heated up half the can and ate it with wheat bread, and a string cheese. Quick lunch in a pinch.

    Buffalo chicken dip.. It's not the healthiest but I make it for parties and large gatherings!

    2 cans of chicken
    half bottle of hot wing sauce
    1 block of cream cheese (i dont know the ounces sorry!)
    shredded chedder cheese

    Mix the cream cheese and hot wing sauce in a bowl and heat in the microwave until it softens and is mixable. Then in a large bowl, mix in the chicken and half of the bag of shredded cheese.. Bake in the oven for about 30 mins. (350 degrees) Then the last couple of minutes top it with the rest of the shredded cheddar so its extra cheesy!!

    Serve with tortilla chips for dipping! :) YUM

    You can also make a super easy/somewhat healthy "Six Can Soup"

    I can corn, drained
    2 cans low sodium chicken broth
    I can chicken ( I like shredded)
    I can black beans
    I can tomatoes with green chiles (like rotel)

    I do this in a pinch, its easy comfort food, and if you use low sodium canned goods, not too bad for you either. You can serve with some light sourcream/cheese/baked tortilla chips and voila!

    I like to add avocado and some sort of no salt seasoning. Mmm, easy chicken salad! Add onion/whatever you feel like. Put it on bread, crackers, wraps, romaine leaves.. I keep it around for the no refrigeration/no cooking requirements. My lunches usually consist of leftovers, and when there are none, here ya go :) Also, I agree with UpEarly, it tastes better than tuna!

    Hmm.. whats UpEarly?
