Wow - just tried canned chicken for the first time - blow away - was GREAT!

I thought it would be weird, slimy, or rubbery. It was none of that. It was super moist (duh, it's packed in water) - but it work great! I just cook it a bit on the stove top (more just to add a bit of browning in a tiny bit of butter and heat it through) then set it aside and make a sour cream and green chilli sauce with cumin and garlic salt - super quick meal.

I'm excited about this becuse it's summer time and for me that means meals away from home - (for me it's boating, for you it might be day trips or camping) - and keeping raw chicken in a P.I.T.-booty. If the raw chicken touches other food - it's kinda game over. This solves that.

Anyways - just wanted to let you know not to be afraid of this stuff. My can was 2-3 months old (I was putting off trying it) - but apperently it's good for 3-5 YEARS in the can. I was impressed by the quality - good stuff!

ps - it's packed in juice I gave to my cat - he loved it - but next time I'm going to reserve some for the sauce - it's basically chicken stock.
