I am not a seafood eater, so my PA said I could add canned chicken in the mechanical stage of my diet that starts on Friday. Does anyone have any good recipes for canned chicken? The only thing I ever tried it in pre-op was a buffalo chicken dip.. Which has a ton of stuff that is no bueno! I have always thought it smelled like Tuna and was a turned off by it! But, I need protein and I am taking it where I can get it!

I used can chicken for buffolo chicken dip...you can make it healrhy

yum! Thanks . We like easy!!!

You could also sub out the ranch for blue cheese dressing

Before surgery I would make it with vinegar tomatoes and olives.

Great ideas! Start the purée stage in 2 days and some of these ideas sound perfect!

I just mixed up a great chicken salad version, i m in soft food stage.

Used the King Soopers generic Greek Yougurt Dill and Cucumber Dip. This is available in the deli area. Falls into the calories/protien<15 formula.

I did my 1 oz canned chicken, used the dip to moisten and then added some feta cheese crumbles and black pepper.

It is my new favorite.

I may try adding a chopped up green olive next time too.

I do chicken a bit of olive oil mayo salt pepper and curry powder. It is very savory and satisfying.

Dry fry 2 oz canned chicken, 1/2 oz cheddar, 1 oz pico de gallo and spread on healthy bean and spinach tortilla. .. yom

This all sounds amazing!

I make a tortilla-less chicken enchilada casserole

Ingredients:

1/3 cup skim milk

3 ounces chopped green chile (I used canned)

1/2 cup onions chopped

1 cup Sargento Reduced fat 4 cheese Mexican blend

1 can premium chunk chicken breast drained (I use costco or sam's club brand which are about 13 ounces)

1 can Campbells 98% fat free cream of chicken Soup

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Combine the soup, green chile, onions, and milk in a large saucepan and heat to boiling.

Remove from heat and add canned chicken breast and stir.

In a small casserole dish, add one layer of the chicken mixture, top with 1/2 of the cheese, then another layer of the chicken mixture and top with the remaining cheese.

Bake at 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or until bubbly.

So easy!
