I’ve posted before how we like to use Swanson chicken for those nights when we don’t have time to cook fresh chicken. It is nice to have canned chicken on hand and you don’t feel guilty when you use a premium brand like Swanson Premium Chunk chicken.
- It is made with only white chicken breast.
- No preservatives or artificial flavors.
- It is fully cooked and cut into pieces. (time saver!)
- It is certified by the American Heart Association.
I have two gift baskets to get you started on your way for a perfect picnic or outing with Swanson Chicken! Two lucky readers will win gift baskets!
The basket includes:
- Picnic basket for two with reusable plastic plates, cups, and utensils
- Recipes
- Swanson Chicken
- VIP Coupons for additional cans of Swanson Chicken

I love to have a picnic at Indiana Beach. My family used to go and stay every year and we would always pack a picnic and take it with us everywhere we went. Since there were 9 of us total eating out was not optional. I have so many good memories of us just setting by the water eating our picnic lunch and enjoying each others company.
Steele Creek Park in Bristol, TN
My favorite place to picnic is anywhere my two men are (son and husband)! I love spending time with them!
Our favorite place to picnic is with Daddy at the fire station. It’s fun to go see him because the kids miss him when he works 24 hour shifts. We like to sit outside the station and enjoy the weather while we can!

We have a park not far from our house that has a duck pond and lots of old trees. We love to go early in the fall when all of the leaves are turning and have a picnic and then play in the leaves!
Any where I go is great for a picnic. Taking the grandkids to the beach is the best! My grandson Tannor, had a picnic set similar to this one that he bought from his aunt at a moving sale. It had never been used. We were having a yard sale of our own and he brought it so we could have a picnic during the slow times at the sale. A customer saw it (we had already eaten and cleaned everything in it) and wanted it so badly, that he sold it to her. He has a heart of gold and I sure would love to replace it for him.

I like having a picnic in our yard. It is so convenient. I have the two people i love the most, if i need anything i go inside and get it, and last but not least we save on gas. However, we have had picnics in the state parks and we have enjoyed them as well.
We picnic in the living room for a treat! Kids are still little and our weather here is dicey more than not. Pop in a movie, lay down a blanket and the kids think it’s a special day.

We live at the Jersey shore so our favorite picnic spot is the beach-Especially this time of year when all the tourists are gone
We have fantastic metro parks in our city, so we like to go there for picnics and let the kids play in the fields while my husband and I sit and relax.
My favorite picnic spot is back in the woods down a mile of two-tracks. There is a beautiful clearing in a valley where flowers grow continually. My husband and I found it when we were dating and still go there to reminise and have date nights.
My mother has a huge backyard with this big old oak tree,and it is one of the most peaceful places to have a picnic.

My favorite place to picnic is Crabtree Falls. We were on a hike and picnic there when my husband proposed. My next favorite is a park in our area. It has a great view of tree and flowers, is quite, and during the day there are not a lot of people there. So when we can sneak away on a weekday for a picnic that is where we go.
The best place to picnic is packing up a lunch and bring it to the Police Department and have lunch with hubby. We can sit outside on the picnic table and hopes he doesn’t have to make a run during that time. We usually get to enjoy before he is off helping someone – but sometimes he has to take it on the run. Thanks for all you do by your posting you are helping alot families. When I get something free and can’t use it I pick it up and pass it on hoping everyone is doing that during this tough economy time.
