Can I use canned chicken instead of fresh?You can substitute canned chicken in many recipes that call for fresh chicken. I've used this pantry staple in skillet meals, pasta dishes, soups, salads and casseroles (aka hot dishes for my Minnesota friends).
Can I use canned chicken instead of chicken breast?Since most canned chicken comes in around 12 ounces a can, I would roughly substitute 1 can (DRAINED) for every 2 small (6 to 8 ounce) cooked chicken breasts, but depending on the recipe, you can either, eyeball it, weigh it, or measure it in measuring cups.
What is canned chicken good for?It can be a lifesaver on a busy day or when you run out of fresh or frozen chicken. Add chopped canned chicken to your favorite pasta salad, baked macaroni and cheese, or sprinkle chunks over a tossed green salad to add a little protein to your favorite dishes.
Is it okay to use canned chicken?Nutrition: Excellent source of shelf-stable protein. Canned chicken can be like using canned tuna. It has less of distinct flavor, so it is more flexible than tuna. It tastes best in recipes where minimum cooking time is required, like cold salads or dishes that are quickly reheated with added spices.
