Use of the Canned Chicken
Just wanted to send over to you a thank you for consistently bring canned chicken to Project SHARE, from your church! So far this year, I have used canned chicken in a few different cooking classes. At the beginning of December, the kids made Chicken & Bean Enchiladas (first two pictures) and in October, during a virtual cooking class, we made Jack O Lantern Quesadilla. Canned chicken is such an easy but healthy addition to meals, and I love using it for cooking classes!
Thank you!
