Over on "The Frugal Novice" my friend plans her menu every week. Well, I'm lucky if I plan one night and then we can have leftovers. So here's my idea...I thought I could try to do a Monday Meal, and then we could all share recipes and maybe come up with some new favorites. Today's theme is chicken (specifically canned chicken). I like to use the Tyson white chicken for sandwiches and casseroles, but one quick recipe I got from my mom goes in the crock pot! It's easy because you can throw everything in and forget about it for a couple of hours. All you need is:
1 can Swanson Chicken Broth (about 2 cups)
6 oz. box Uncle Ben's Long Grain and Wild Rice (Original Recipe) uncooked
1 large can cooked chicken
1/2 cup margarine, melted
Combine all of the ingredients in the crock pot, including the rice seasoning packet. Cover and cook on High 2 hours or until rice is tender. Sometimes I don't add as much butter, and I usually season with salt and pepper. Now it's your turn! If you have a yummy chicken recipe, please share so I can try it.

So I posted a recipe...but now I don't see it!
I'll try again! Chicken Enchiladas!!!
2 cans precooked chicken
1 big can ench. sauce (red or green)
1 or 2 sm cans of green chilies
1 tsp cumin
4 cups grated cheese
8-10 oz sour cream
10 flour tortillas
refried beans (optional)
Spray 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Mix chicken, green chilies, cumin, handful of cheese, beans, few spoonfuls of sour cream and a splash of ench. sauce. Spread mix into tortillas and place in pan seam side down. Spread sour cream over enchiladas and then the cheese. Pour ench. sauce over and then dallops of sour cream. Bake at 400 for 30-40 mins. YUMMY and super easy!!
I love this idea! I am going to try your recipe next week. I think the boys would both really like it too which is a huge plus. :)
Here's a recipe w/ canned chicken we really like.
Ingredients:
1 can chicken
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 onion
8 oz. sour cream (I get reduced fat and can't tell a difference)
egg noodles
Directions:
Cook the egg noodles according to package directions. In a large skillet, saute the onions over medium heat until translucent and tender. Add chicken, breaking up the larger pieces. Add the cream of mushroom soup and cook through for 2-3 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add sour cream. Cook until heated through, then serve over egg noodles.
These sound so good! Thanks for sharing, and I can't wait to try them :)
I have a chicken recipe, but its not canned chicken...
Wild Rice Casserole
2 Boxes Uncle Ben's Wild Rice
2-4 chicken breasts
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 8 oz. sour cream
shredded cheddar cheese
I bake chicken in oven and cook the rice as it says on box. Then you cut up chicken. I put the rice in a 9x13 glass pan and mix in the sour cream and cream of chicken soup. Then I mix in the cut up chicken. I bake it at 350 for around 30 minutes or so... Then I sprinkle cheese on top and put back in until it melts. My husband and I love this. I found a similar recipe and tweeked it to this...
And it heats up well again the next night or for lunch! :)
