I’ll admit it. I like to use canned chicken when in a time crunch. :) This is something we usually have 1-2 on hand for those nights when we don’t have time to cook chicken. Plus, I don’t feel as guilty when I use a quality brand like Swanson Premium Chunk chicken. Why?
- 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.
Here’s the recipe for yummy Buffalo Chicken Dip (pictured above):
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
2 cans (9.75 oz each) Swanson Premium Chunk Chicken Breast, drained
½ cup Frank’s RedHot Sauce
½ cup blue cheese salad dressing
½ cup crumbled blue cheese
Assorted fresh vegetables and/or crackers
Directions
Stir cream cheese in 9″ deep dish pie plate until smooth. Stir in remaining ingredients. Bake at 350°F. for 20 min. until hot and bubbling. Stir. Serve with vegetables and crackers.
Tips:
- Substitute ranch dressing for blue cheese dressing and shredded cheddar cheese for blue cheese crumbles.
- Make it tailgate friendly – prepare ahead of time and transport in a disposable heavy foil pan. When you get to the tailgate heat it on a grill and serve nice and hot!
- Make this in the microwave by heating it on high for 5 minutes instead of baking
- Keep it warm in a crockpot or slow cooker

Swanson has been kind enough to send some coupons my way! Guess what that means? 6 lucky readers will get (10) coupons Good on ANY Swanson Premium Chunk Chicken (up to $3.99 value). These babies don’t expire until 12/31/2010 so you will have plenty of time to use them or share them with a friend!

I love swanson chicken. My favorite is a can of chicken, mixed with most of a can of corn, a can of black beans, and salsa to taste. You can heat it on toe stove or in the oven if you wish with a bit of grated cheese on top, but really most of the time I skip the heating and cheese and eat it cold. Yummy, fast, and healthy!

Oh YUM – this would be FAB! I love canned chicken for quick appetizer dips. I make a buffalo chicken dip very similar to the one posted above. I also have a hot fiesta dip that people love.
