I'm on stage 3 soft foods and one food recommended is canned chicken and tuna. I've had tuna and cottage cheese and that wasn't bad, would like to experiment with the chicken this week. Any suggestions on what to eat it with? Thank you!

I've never had canned chicken but have heard it is not good unless you use it in a soup, dip or some other kind of mixture. I have several cans in my pantry I bought for after surgery and still haven't used them. Please post if you make something yummy with it. I made tuna salad all the time with a little mayo, dab of mustard, chopped boiled egg, chopped pickles, pickle juice and salt and pepper.

You can make chicken salad, just like tuna salad

Yes, guess I like a bit chunkier chicken for chicken salad.

We buy skinless, boneless breasts, and roast them. If you soak them in brine (saltwater) overnight, and then roast them at 425° for about 45 minutes with foil tight over the pan, they come out extremely tender. Spray the roasting pan with some olive oil, add some pepper, onion and garlic powder, or any other spices you want, and you have several meals ready to heat for not a lot of money. We buy the stuff on sale for $2.00/lb.

We eat it as is, or make it into chicken salad, chicken enchiladas with refried Beans, and so on.

A brick of cream cheese, aarge can of chicken, 1/2 cup of wing sauce, 1/2 packet of ranch seasoning. Mix and bake at 350 for 20ish minutes. It's fantastic!
