What are some flavorful recipes using canned chicken?

[skaugchef]

I'm looking for reicpes using canned chicken. Any & all appreciated.

 

[bridedream]

I use canned chicken in the Chicken Caesar Salad pizza. It's always a big hit at my shows.

Buffalo Chicken Dip is my fav! I also make an appetizer with 1 can chicken, 1 block of cream cheese, & a small onion. Dice the onion, mix the chicken & cream cheese together, & spread of crackers.

 

[BethCooks4U]

Sorry, but I had to chuckle. I almost always switch out canned for fresh chicken when I get a recipe calling for canned. I guess I'm a chicken snob.

That being said, do you have the Buffalo Rub Chicken Dip Recipe yet? Here it is in case:

BUFFALO RUB CHICKEN DIP

8 oz. cream cheese
1 can chicken
1 cup Ranch dressing
1/4 cup Bleu Cheese crumbles
1/4 cup Franks Wing Sauce
1 heaping Teas. Buffalo Rub
4 oz. grated cheddar

Mix everything except the cheddar together in a mini baker, then sprinkle the cheddar over the top, and pop it in the micro for a couple minutes til it is melty. Serve it with celery & carrot sticks, and tortilla chips.

I made it exactly as directed and we licked the baker clean. YUM!

I used canned chicken in the Chicken Broccoli Wreath/Braid.

OK, not that great for PC, but I love to pour canned chicken into my rice cooker, with the right amount of fluid (water or broth) for the rice, PLUS whatever fluid is in the chicken. I add fresh vegs--like broccoli or carrots, and cook it all together.It's pretty much comfort food for us, maybe I might add a little seasoning. Curry is my favorite, but I bet the Moroccan Rub would be great. Another add-in might be raisins or nuts.Sometimes we shred a little cheese over the top. Usually cheddar, but jack or Swiss are good.I use this for when I don't feel like cooking or even thinking.

I also usually use regular chicken. But, I bought a 6pk of canned chicken from Sams Club and wanted ideas of what to make. Thanks for the recipe. Could I substitute these with anything?
1/4 cup Bleu Cheese crumbles
1/4 cup Franks Wing Sauce
We don't like bleu cheese & could we use just bbq sauce?

I'm not sure about the bbq answer, but I don't use bleu cheese in mine. I just add more ranch. Hope that helps.

Well, it won't be a buffalo dip if you don't use bleu cheese or hot sauce. It'd be a BBQ Chicken dip. It would probably taste fine, it would just be a whole new flavor profile.

I wouldn't use a bbq sauce. It needs a hot sauce. You can get a "sample" bottle at the grocery that's exactly 1/4 cup and it's 50c or less (I think I got it for 39c). It's Pete's rather than Franks but IMHO the same thing.

What size can of chicken?

[pamperedlinda]

What size can of chicken?

....and how do you think it would be with feta instead of bleu cheese? I don't like bleu cheese - I googled Frank's REDHOT recipe and they suggest subbing mozzarella - would feta be too strong or give it a nice zing?

 

[BethCooks4U]

What size can of chicken?

I believe it was 10 oz. - bigger than a regular tuna can. As far as the cheese, I don't know what a different kind would do to the flavor but I do know that I do not like bleu cheese and I LOVED this recipe.

What size can of chicken?

LOL, Linda - this is the same question you asked before!


Sooo, when I made it for my Fall Kickoff Show, I just added the whole can. It's the large sized can that I get at Costco, so that might be 10 oz. I'm not sure. I used the last one, so I can't look to see. The extra chicken didn't seem to hurt the dip any - people were still scraping out the bottom and sides of the baker. It was the biggest hit at my show!

well, dangit - put the size in the recipe! I didn't print it before and wasn't about to go on a search....I'm lazy that way .

I just made it - personally, I think it needs 2 cans of chicken. I don't normally use canned chicken and I thought the dip tasted kinda bland - like it was missing something - didn't have much of a chicken flavor, was more like buffalo cheese dip in my opinion. Could be because of using canned instead of cooking a chicken breast? I didn't have Pete's Hot Sauce so I used Crystal Hot Sauce and @ 2 tsp of the buffalo rub.

Was it the big can of chicken?

Also - remember that I'm a Northern girl, and we can't take much heat. So, this recipe was developed with Northern tastebuds in mind. LOL! All of the recipes that I found for a buffalo chicken dip were way too hot for me, that's why I created this one.

And I'm so glad you did! Like I said we licked the baker clean!!

...sorry I didn't give you credit before but I didn't remember who's recipe it was.

That's perfectly okay Beth! It was a good reminder for me, because I had promised a bunch of people I'd post the recipe on FB, and then I was busy getting ready for vacation, and totally forgot about it! So your post reminded me that I needed to do that!

They licked the bowl clean at my Fall Kick-Off too - and also at our Cluster's Fall Taste-testing meeting! I made some here and ate it in a wrap sandwich with lettuce, red onion, and tomato - it was really good that way too!

it was the 10 oz size. I like very spicey food, this was spicey enough, just not chickeny enough. Like I said it tasted like buffalo cheese dip.

all those listed before plus southwest chicken salad

 

[Tropicalburstqt2]

When I make Buffalo Chicken dip, I use the cheapest hot sauce at the store, but add more. I also use the cheapest ranch, because you can't tell a difference IMHO. For a twist, you can spoon a small amount of the dip when finished onto wonton wrappers, pinch, & deep fry. Yummm!!!

Linda - did you use the feta? I would think that would be way to salty. And I found a little tip some where, no idea where and I do this, when I open a can of chicken or more, I dump it in the Exec Saute Pan and cook it until the liquid is evaporated. It makes the chicken flavor more concentrated. If I really want to add flavor, I pop a few grains of granulated bullion in the too. Most canned chicken is packed in water so... Some cans even call it broth but it is only broth after the chicken sits in the can for so long. It gets a watery taste to it. UGH!

I did not use the feta. I did drain the canned chicken. but you are right, it had NO flavor. It was name-brand chicken too. I threw the entire thing out. I have made buffalo chickien dip in the past, another recipe-but similar and it was delicious. I blame this failure on the tasteless canned chicken.
