A Staple in my Life ~ Canned Chicken

I've been cooking and providing food for my family for decades - yes, I'm that old.  I'm very frugal - very.  One of the staples in my food arsenal has always been - canned chicken.

For me - it's got to be white, low-fat, rib meat.  I'm also picky about fat - ugh.  So - here's how I meet my own criteria (for once I'm the picky eater).

After opening the can, I pour the contents into a colander.  Sometimes I save the chicken broth and sometimes I don't.  I rinse the meat off with water and pick out the little bit of fat that made it into the can.  By the time I'm finished - I've got white meat chicken - only.

Now I can decide what I want to do with the chicken.  A few of my "go to's" are Chicken and Yellow Rice, Chicken Pot Pie, Chicken Stew (my favorite is Brunswick Stew) and the always appreciated Chicken Salad.  This week I made Chicken Salad.
