healthy chicken sandwich salad recipe image
ROCKER_CHI
I am making shredded chicken sandwiches for my daughters birthday. I am just using the big can of the boned chicken, half of a box of Ritz crackers, and a big can of cream of chicken. About how many sandwiches do you think that will make? I don't know whether to double it up or not...
Its like the giant can! Im not sure how much but it usually fills a crockpot!
Answer
Probably only two if you don't mix the shredded chicken up with chopped lettuce & mayo.... if only mayo on the bread & the shredded chicken, then two.... if you are gonna make a chicken salad with it, then about 3.... =)
A can of tuna says 2.5 servings but really only think of it as two if not mixing with chopped lettuce, sugar, mayo, etc.... I use one can tuna per tuna salad sammy recipe which I put 2 cups chopped lettuce, mayo, etc, in & still only get 3 sammies.... =)
But you did say a big can so it may be bigger than the little tuna cans. In that case just read the serving size & servings per container on the nutrition label. If it says half a serving (2.5 servings) just round down. =)
For the little amount of chicken you get per can, it's cheaper to buy a bag of frozen chicken breasts if money is a factor.... =)
Just like a can of Spag-Os, cannot understand it.... it's high in sodium, you practically have to eat the whole can for one person to be satisfied & it's like baby mush.... buying a jar of spag. sauce & cooking some spag or elbow noodles is soo much cheaper/serving, wayyy healthier, & you get way more than one serving.... go figure... =/

Is getting a chicken sandwich from these places a bad idea?

My goal is to slim down. Possibly to get a flat stomach or a 6-pack. I'm trying to eat healthy now, so instead of my usual burger & other garbage like that, I eat chicken sandwiches mainly at fast food restaurants like Checker's/McDonald's. Would this still be a bad thing if I was trying to get a flat stomach/6-pack? Same question about Chinese food.
Answer
If the chicken is grilled and on a whole grain bun and has no mayo or ketchup. The only healthy fast food choices Ive found are grilled tilapia from Captain D's and grilled chicken and green beans from kfc. Even then you should throw out the breadstick that comes with the tilapia from capn d's.
Don't let salads fool you, the dressings crutons and cheeses they come with are loaded with greese in most cases. You're better off learning some healthy recipes and cooking at home, the healthy home cooked stuff can taste better anyway if you just know some recipes. You can make a healthy pizza with a whole grain crust, natural pizza sauce, low fat and fat free cheeses, and turkey pepperoni.
