Stumbled on a low cal/carb dinner yesterday...

  • Just thought I'd share. I'm just now starting to get back into losing weight, and I've been out of town so my fridge was kind of bare. So I made what I could with what I had, with some success!

    I had a can of Hormel chicken, added some light mayo, chopped onions, and my favorite Carribbean Jerk spices. Realized I had no bread, so I cut up a big green pepper into 4ths and just scooped the chicken salad into them! I actually really enjoyed it. Anyone ever do this before? I may never use bread or wraps for chicken/tuna salad again!
  • That sounds really good! I like using bell pepper slices to dip in hummus instead of using pita bread. They are so tasty and versatile!
  • That really does sound good! I think I have all of that stuff at home so I may try that tonight. I'm getting tired of the whole wheat tortillas.
  • I have made stuffed peppers before - they were awesome. Thanks for reminding me that I should make them again. I wonder what they would be like with canned tuna...
  • That sounds good. I've taken the same can of chicken and mixed it with some sugar free vinegrette dressing, chopped jalapenos and black olives =
  • Okay, I have to ask... is canned chicken good? It kinda scares me so I have never tried it... does it just taste like chicken?

    I've wondered this too!! Hormel's canned turkey chili w/no beans is decent...but I'm too afraid to try canned chicken -.-

    I think its fine to make chicken salad with! I usually add lite mayo, onions and a baybell cheese. And either horseradish sauce or carribbean jerk spices for a little kick. I wouldn't eat it plain though.
  • I like canned chicken when I'm mixing the chopped chicken in with something else. Chicken salad, buffalo chicken dip, etc.

    I don't think i would like it plain either StoneFree. But then, I don't like canned tuna plain.
