Canned Chicken Breast (For a Variety of Uses) image

Canned chicken in broth is so handy to have around, I use it often for a variety of different things. I drain the chicken and freeze the broth for future use. I use the chicken for salad mix for sandwiches and for chicken salad with greens etc, chicken fritatta and any number of other recipes; For almost any recipe that calls for cooked chicken; I have even dumped the whole can, chicken and broth into a pot, add veggies, noodles and it makes a great soup.
