Notes:

While you can use canned chicken, this is a great way to use chilled chickens found in the local deli case or left overs from your own roasted or baked chicken.

While we don't usually recommend store bought chickens if you haven't done your own raising they can be a great source of carcasses for making broth for canning and this is a great use for the meat.
