Can you use your own, already-cooked, skinless, boneless chicken instead of canned chicken? Thank you!
Christina Hitchcock says
Of course!

Denise, I have used canned chicken and boneless skinless tenders, cooked in a skillet and shredded. The tenders I cook are a lot better
Christina Hitchcock says
Thanks for the tip!

Can you make it the night before, refrigerate it, then put in crockpot for lunch party the next day?
Christina Hitchcock says
I believe so. I’ve never tried it but I don’t see why that won’t work.
