    I make a "fiesta" chicken salad

    can of chicken
    1 can of black beans, rinsed and drained
    1 small can of corn (or 1/2 of a large can)
    1/2 can chopped tomatoes or 1/2 cup chunky salsa
    about 1/2 cup light mayo (maybe less, I really just eye-ball it.)

    Stir it all up. I like it with tortilla chips, or you could even roll it in a tortilla. I like mine cold but hubby heats his up.

    Chicken Tortilla Soup
    1 can of chicken
    1 can fiesta nacho soup
    1 can cream of chicken
    1 can of enchilada sauce
    1 can of milk

    Heat until warm and serve with tortilla chips. The cream of chicken you can get low fat and low sodium but not the nacho soup. So it isn't super healthy but it is really good so worth it.

    we also make a salad

    drain and rinse

    yogurt
    grapes
    celery
    carrots
    jicama

    I do this too! Red grapes are better than green for this and I always rinse the chicken first because canned is usually loaded with sodium and preservatives.

    I do something similar with grapes, celery, chopped apples and chopped almonds - can use greek yogurt or a little light mayo. YUM

    check the date. . .but it makes an okay chicken salad

    chopped celery or a little bit of pickle relish
    an egg
    mayo or salad dressing
    pepper

    I prefer cooked chic breast to the canned

    I've also used the canned for homemade chicken soup:
    chopping celery
    chopped carrots
    italian seasoning
    pepper
    bouillon cubes or lite chicken broth (canned)
    a few noodles
    delicious!!

    Personally I would never eat chicken breast out of a can. Are you sure its chicken? I tried it once, never again. Gimme fresh chicken any day.

    I use light mayo/onion powder pepper and mix with lettuce or toast bread.

    myPastaSalad:

    Rotini Pasta
    Chicken Tenders (or canned chicken)
    Stir fry vegetables
    No salt added canned diced tomatoes w/ oregano/garlic/basil

    No "In your face" salt taste but still quite tasty...

    I have never used canned meat before (aside from Tuna) and I have a large can in my pantry. I'd like to try and do something with the canned chicken breast... any ideas or suggestions??

    I found this:

    This sounds very strange, but I haven't met anyone that says they don't like it. Just bear with me

    1 large can of Chicken shredded
    1 can of crushed pineapple
    and a little bit of light mayo

    Mix everything to taste... if you like more pineapple then mayo... or the opposite - more creamy... then put it on a sandwich. Hawaiian chicken sandwiches. I seriously enjoy these!! and by my calculations

    I typically just mix in a little bit of mayo and eat it on bread. Can't believe how good it is.

    I also like to mix it with a small amount of mayo, shredded cheddar, ranch dressing powder and some low or no sodium Tony chacheres seasoning and eat it on crackers.
