Canned meat makes a convenient meal

by CHRISTINA GUERRERO

Canned meats made a comeback when pandemic shoppers were reminded of the benefits of having convenient proteins in the kitchen pantry. Whether you prefer Kirkland Signature™ canned chicken breast or skipjack tuna, both are low in fat and each is a tasty ingredient in a variety of recipes.

Packed in water, Kirkland Signature Chicken Breast (Item 51070) is extra lean, with 13 grams of protein in each 55-g (1/4-cup) serving. On the Costco Finds Facebook group, members shared more than 4,000 suggestions for how to use it, including pizza, potpies, Buffalo chicken dip, air-fryer nuggets and a variety of Mexican dishes.

Kirkland Signature Solid Light Tuna (Item 820272) is made of skip - jack tuna preserved in water. Each 55-g (1/4-cup) serving contains 12 grams of protein. Try it in a tuna melt, salade niçoise or the Tuna Pasta Salad recipe.
