This is one of my favorite recipes from my mom. She has made this for almost every graduation party, wedding shower, baby shower, etc. I have memories from all of these celebrations that go along with this dish. But it's also great for the everyday meal as well. It's a fantastic recipe and pretty simple to throw together.
My mom has always baked chicken breasts and then shredded them beforehand. Her's always turns out wonderful. So I will recommend that method first. I have decided to try Bowman Landes canned Turkey and see if it comes out the same. They do have canned chicken. However, the turkey are free range and at the farm in New Carlisle.
I do not like handling raw chicken. I'm not sure why, but it can ruin a meal for me. I'm sure I should speak to a therapist at some point. But for now, I try to find ways around it. I've mentioned before that I am a huge fan of Bowman Landes canned chicken and turkey. If you have access to this store, I highly recommend it. I find other canned chicken to have a weird texture.
Side note: I love Bowman Landes even more when I saw on their website that they recently purchased a 50 kilowatt Solar Electric Generating System to help power their farm. Free range turkeys and green initiatives!
Recipe:
3-4 lbs. cooked shredded chicken ( 2 lg cans Bowman Landes)
2 eggs beaten
3 pieces day old bread
12 saltine crackers
1/4 cup evaporated milk
chicken broth
salt and pepper to taste
celery optional
I'm going to give you directions based on my canned version. Otherwise, cook and shred chicken how you normally would.
Directions:
1. Open canned chicken. Pour chicken broth into separate glass or bowl. Place chicken in slow cooker.
2. Crack eggs into another separate glass or bowl. Scramble with a fork. Pour over chicken.
3. Tear up bread and crumble crackers into slow cooker with chicken
5. pour evaporated milk over chicken
6. Salt and pepper to taste (I used some celery salt in place of the celery)
7. moisten chicken with reserved chicken broth (don't let it get soupy or the chicken mixture become a bit mushy. If this happens, just cook the chicken longer or you could even put the sandwiches under the broiler for a few minutes.)
8. Stir all ingredients until combined well in slow cooker
9. Cook on low for 2 hrs or until warmed throughout

This made me crack up! :) I hate handling it, too, maybe it's in our family genes. It doesn't ruin the meal for me, though--try tongs, maybe? Then you won't have to touch the gross, slimy raw meat. :D
