STORY BEHIND THE DISH

I have always hated tuna but liked the idea of a tuna salad sandwich. A few years ago I tried a sample of the canned white meat chicken from Costco with some olive oil, salt, & pepper, surprisingly it was better than I expected. This recipe is from a friend of the family, she uses rotisserie chicken, but the canned is so much easier to use & tastes just as good. 

MODIFICATIONS 

I have made many different types of chicken salad with canned chicken. You can add any type of nut, walnuts, almonds, cashews, pine nuts, etc. All veggies go well on this sandwich, I often use, romaine lettuce, cucumber, & tomatoes.

STORY BEHIND THE DISH

This is a simple pulled pork slow cooker recipe my sisters & I have made for various events. It is great for entertaining, easy, & delicious.  

MODIFICATIONS 

There are many things that pair well with this dish. Sides I normally serve are baked beans, coleslaw, & corn bread. If you do not eat pork you can replace the pork tenderloin with chicken. Whole30 & Paleo compliant modification, use homemade approved BBQ sauce & water or broth in place of Root Beer. Also serve pulled pork on top of a slaw.

STORY BEHIND THE DISH

I have always hated tuna but liked the idea of a tuna salad sandwich. A few years ago I tried a sample of the canned white meat chicken from Costco with some olive oil, salt, & pepper, surprisingly it was better than I expected. I usually try to avoid the can food section, but I love this recipe & I do not have the time to cook chicken just to make a sandwich. Best part is, it taste great, it's easy, the salad stores well, & my house doesn't smell like tuna!

MODIFICATIONS 

I have made many different types of chicken salad with canned chicken. You can replace the walnuts with any nut of your choice, almonds, cashews, pine nuts, etc. Also some people like to make a mayo based chicken salad, just replace the olive oil with mayonnaise. All veggies go well on this sandwich, I often use others, such as, romaine lettuce, cucumber, & tomatoes.
