5 Easy Chicken Recipes

About a year ago I made a glorious discovery: Canned Chicken. 
That might sound gross, but hear me out! 

I am a bit of a germaphobe (Thanks Dad) and will do anything I can to avoid dealing with raw meat. Every time I have to, I practically hose my kitchen down with Lysol afterwards. 

Also, I am the laziest cook in the world. When I see a recipe that has more than 5 ingredients or steps, the phrase "Aint nobody got time for that" comes to mind. 
So canned chicken is my new best friend!
 Daily Chef All Natural Chicken Breast - 13 oz. cans - 5 pk.
The pros include: 
  • Time saving: you don't have to thaw or cut!
  • Peace of mind: Its already cooked so no worrying there!
  • Cheap: The cans in this photo cost less than $10 at Sam's Club 
Now lets get to the good stuff:

We make these using a YUMMY Taco Bell sauce. One can makes about 5 fairly large tacos.

We use two cans for a pan of these DELICIOUS enchiladas. Since putting the enchiladas together takes a bit of time, its nice to not worry about cooking chicken. This is also my go-to recipe to deliver to a visiting teaching sister.

This is hands down, Jason's favorite thing that I make. This uses two cans of chicken and reheats REALLY well...not that it will last long! We've also started substituting the Buffalo sauce for just plain BBQ sauce (I'm not a spicy food person) and we like it even more!

This is a new recipe I tried a few weeks ago and its quickly become a favorite. Just one can is needed, and a little goes a long way.

This recipe also uses two cans of chicken and makes the dish a lot better. I had to fiddle with it because the original recipe didn't have a protein. 

There you have it! 5 Super quick and easy recipes that are all favorites around our place. I promise you won't be disappointed.
