 useful itemOct 31, 2006
By T. Reinhardt
"olivia lee"
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.

If you have this in the pantry, you've got a quick meal.Sep 23, 2007
By J. Arena
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. Try it cold with some yummy salad dressing and a few crackers!
Swanson Premium Chunk Chicken Breast is an excellent buy.

A good, quick source of proteinDec 24, 2008
By Mrs. Kilo Delta
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!

I ordered the Swanson Premium Chunk Chicken Breast in Water, White Meat, 9.75-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12) and my family and I absolutely loved it! This was, without a doubt, the best canned chicken we have ever eatten; and it is the closest to fresh we've ever tasted.

Great product to have in your cupboard and a good priceFeb 11, 2011

Update: Please note per my information below: product description and photo are no longer accurate. The product has a sealed lid, not a "pop-top lid" and the amount of protein and sodium have changed. See below for the correct information. I have notified Amazon of this error. Somehow 5 grams of protein have been "lost" from the can contents.
I purchased the 4.5 ounce can of Swanson white premium chunk chicken breast on sale at CVS - buy one, get one free for $3.00 ($1.50 per can). This large size can 12-pack works out to be a better deal even though it's not a sale price and subscribing to purchase this product on a schedule reduces the price per can even more.
I am wondering if the person who commented that the meat was a mixture of white and dark meat ordered or received the wrong product since there is a similar product available for a lower price that is a blend of white and dark meat. This 9.75 ounce net weight can contains all white meat and just the right amount of broth that's easy to drain off or use. The chicken looks appealing and it tastes mild and flavorful. It is great for making chicken salad sandwiches or for adding to soup or any other food item. The meat flakes into small pieces easily, so you may not want to add it to your soup stock until just before you are ready to serve it. It would also make a good filling for enchiladas, tortillas or quesadillas. I have no problems at all with the taste or texture of this product. It is appealing when you open the can and it would work well for many recipes or quick meals or snacks. For those who don't like tuna, it's a great alternative.
Basically, it's chicken when you need it ready to go, and it is a good source of protein with very little fat. One can contains 5 servings with each serving containing 50 calories, 9 grams of protein, 1 gram of fat, 25 mg of cholesterol (8% of DV), 1 gm of carbohydrate and 260 grams of sodium(does that include the broth?). If sodium is a concern, consider adjusting the amount of salt that you add to your recipe or maybe you could even lightly rinse the drained chicken in a strainer.
It's certainly better than buying luncheon meat and keeping it for too long! It's fresh when you need it. I have a couple of cans stored in my refrigerator now. This chicken contains no MSG and no artificial flavor - just less than 2% food starch and sodium phosphates.(okay sodium phosphates may not appeal to some)
Update:
Just opened another can and added it to a healthy variation of macaroni and cheese.
I haven't tried the concoction yet, but the chicken looked wonderful when I opened the can - appealing light pink color and chunky bits of meat like baked chicken breast.
