How To Turn Canned Chicken Into A Delicious Handheld Salad
BY AUSTIN HAVENS-BOWEN
Lettuce wraps make for an effortless handheld meal. Canned chicken, which is usually flaky and a little mushy, will perfectly complement the crunch of the lettuce wraps.
It also adds protein and other essential nutrients like calcium to your diet without dealing with raw chicken, or any of the prep work that comes with it.
Canned chicken can include white meat, dark meat, or a combination of both and can be packed in either water or broth. It can contain salt or be unsalted.
Get creative with canned chicken lettuce wraps. Keep it simple with shredded chicken, carrots, scallions, and soy sauce, or make creamy chicken salad with mayo and dijon.
