Chicken in a can!!

[Zoobster]

What is everyones take on this. It doesn't taste tat bad and it has a crap load of protein. Sometimes it is just boring to cook chicken.

Canned chicken is my main source of protein. I can take it to work and its already cooked. Its cheap and convenient. I usually buy 24 cans of the 12.5oz size ones a week. Also, if you throw it on a pan and cook it, it shredds really easily. Great for fajitas and stuff like that. I usually just fry it up with some onions and eat it with some rice a few times a day.

Ive tried it. But I didnt like it. Smelled a little funny. So I squirted a bunch of mustard on it and held my nose!

I don't mind the taste too much, it is better than canned tuna. but like most canned product its very high in sodium, plus I think the texture of it is too mushy. still good to have a couple cans around if you can't cook for some reason or are in a hurry

I know it's chicken and it is very tender to eat, but my brain tells me it tastes like tuna lol.
It's great for a quick meal but also expensive in weight comparison to chicken breast

I saw in the store recently that you can buy a whole chicken in the can. I bought it, opened it up, it was the nastiest looking thing I possibly ever saw.

Damn sodium!!

 

[Zoobster]

Yes the sodiumin a can as just as much as soy sauce and beef jerky very high

That can't be good for ya.

Get a strainer and stir with a fork while rinsing with water. Then dry it with paper towels. Gets rid of most of the sodium and helps with the funny taste.

That's interesting.

It's great if you need a quick meal or are out and about and don't pack food.

Not so great as a main source of protein because of the sodium and BPA. At least with tuna you get some omega 3 fats, albeit a small amount. It's also much cheaper for me to just cook chicken breast.

I wouldn't rely too much on food that comes in a can.

idk why I never thought of that...not a bad idea bud!

8lbs in the slow cooker overnight with some peppers and chicken stock is cheaper and less sodium.

In a crockpot? Just 8 lbs of chicken breast??

I used to think the chicken in a can was great, the chemical taste and slime got to me one time, now it nearly makes me sick if I even see it....especially after looking at how it's usually made and the added chemicals, listed and who knows what else from that production process.
