I made chicken salad as I would have done years ago, with (vegan) mayo, celery, onion, dijon, salt and pepper. I made the mistake of fully draining and pressing this chicken but try to keep some of the liquid because there's a lot of flavor in that. I put the chicken salad in a Lavash wrap with lettuce and tomato, it was delicious. Tonight I was making a hello fresh meal that a neighbor gifted me, a chickpea and zucchini green curry over jasmine rice and decided to use a can of this chicken and it's juices in the recipe, replacing the 1/4 cup water and it was really delicious. I've ordered another 12 pack on Amazon and will keep it in my pantry to make sandwiches and add to meals. The cost here on Amazon is pretty good.
The whole can is about 160 calories, it's supposed to be 3.5 servings, the sodium for the whole can is 42%. Considering that many canned foods are really high in sodium, if you were to break this into two meals it would be 21% of your daily sodium and just about 80 calories per meal. I don't think that's unreasonable, especially if you're only using this here and there.
The ingredient list isn't terrible, this uses palm olein instead of palm or other oils which is a fractionated variety of palm oil and heart healthy. Besides the small amount of xantham gum, the rest of the ingredients are just wheat and soy protein, sugar, and seasonings.
The picture here is of the cold meal that I took out of the fridge and was using for my next day's lunch. I wish I had taken a picture of the actual dinner itself because warmed it was actually a beautiful looking dish and a very tasty curry.
