 A good, quick source of protein December 24, 2008
K. Daum (Northwest, United States)
My husband is always hassling me to eat something good with protein, as I am a carb lover. These white meat chunk chicken in cans are great, because I'm terrible at meal planning. All of a sudden, I'll be hungry NOW, with no time to cook.
So I open a can of this Swanson chicken, drain it, dump it into a tupperware, add a couple heaping tablespoons of lite Miracle Whip, and start mashing at the chunks with a fork. I scoop up the newly made chicken salad with saltine, Ritz, or butter club crackers. Ta-da, instant protein-filled meal. This chicken would be great for serving to kids, too. I ALWAYS have cans of this in my cupboards. I can add some more flavor by adding ground black pepper, mustard, relish, and other kitchen staples.
It is cheaper at my local stores. But, if you can't get out to the store, I've always had great service from amazon!

At least half the cans in my last order arrived in a crushed condition; not just dented but caved in. The inner and outer cardboard cartons that they were packed in were not damaged, so the cans had to have been damaged at the time the cartons were packed by the manufacturer, and not damaged during shipping. The can condition was such as manufacturers commonly donate to food banks, knowing that retail supermarket shoppers would not touch them. Perhaps disposing of such product through Amazon.com rather than taking a charitable writeoff is a more cost effective strategy for a manufacturer. Buyer beware when buying products sight unseen. The chicken itself was OK.
Delicious, but inconvenient July 20, 2008

The chicken is great. If you're as big of a fan of chicken as I am, you know what I'm talkin bout.
But I'll have to warn you- this isn't some sort of instant delivery thing. I wanted to eat a chicken the other day- a whole one- and I thought five or six cans of this would be the equivalent. But it seemed like it took DAYS to come. By that time I was so hungry I could eat a whole chicken (which I did, thank you very much).
But going back to my main point, chicken is a highly versatile and inexpensive meat that can be used in practically any situation, besides cereal, which could get messy. If you are interested in further research regarding the many uses of chicken, look no further than http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken
If you have this in the pantry, you've got a quick meal. September 23, 2007

This canned chicken is the perfect thing to make a quick salad, sandwhich, or toss into a soup for lunch or dinner.
While it will never replace a roast chicken in the oven ready to be served, it's got a nice chicken taste. It's just not as firm as regular chicken you prepared yourself.
If you remember to keep a can or two in your desk at work, you won't be without some solid nutrition in a pinch.
Swanson Premium Chunk Chicken Breast is an excellent buy.

I have used this in many different ways and I like its ease of use and the fact that its a pantry item.
That said, it doesnt have the texture of fresh cooked chicken and Ive found it best in things where its either mixed with something - like a chicken salad - or added into soup.
I dont think it works well where a genuine chicken texture would be wanted (ie a stir fry or a chunky item where the chicken is in large peices)
I think this is a very good item and worth having; just be aware that it isnt a perfect substitute for fresh cooked.
