Try feeding it to your cat ...
There were several threads in "general" some months ago that said "not even the cat would eat it" ...

I agree that chop chop chicken is completely gross, I popped some into an omelette I made and it rendered the meal inedible.

Have you tried it? , if not please try it before making a meal using it. I bought a tin when it first came out as I thought it could be a quick and easy addition to filled rolls.
Its vile, Its like what I imagine cat food tastes like. Actually, not even the cat ate it and she licks her bum happily lol

I don't mean to be rude . . but that wasn't very helpful it's not about whether anyone likes it #1 might like the stuff (whatever it is)

The three recipes above have been copied from the offcial chop chop chicken website.
Let us know if - and how - they turn out.

what exactly is Chop Chop Chicken . . is it a canned stewy stuff?
Those recipes sound quite nice, uli . . I could make them with real chicken

Yep it is chicken in a tin imported from overseas somewhere. If I remember right Thailand? But not sure. It is sold alongside tinned tuna - have a look if you like.
And yes I guess the recipes were just "developed" from normal recipes by replacing the cooked and chopped left over chicken with the chop chop variety.
The thought of chicken in spring water makes me feel ill though, together with the thought of what they must been fed to be so cheap ...

Lordy, I'm absolutely not putting anyones choice of food down, I dont do that. Im not a food nazi at all... , I was just asking if they had tried it, before cooking with it. If they have, all good.

Oh lordy. . I didn't mean to infer that vintagekitty. . you gave your opinion & that's fair enough, I wouldn't be tempted to buy the product ... but #1 asked if it was suitable as a pie filling & with a few additives . . who knows . . it could be palatable & would save wasting it . You only have to read the 'foods you hate' thread to realise that not everyone has impeccable taste buds like you & me *he he he*
I had a huge laugh at your cat/bum comment.

I also hate to put anyone else's taste down and I LIVE on chicken, eating it about five nights a week. But this white runny stuff in a can truly is, okay (cos I couldn't bring myself to lift it to my mouth) LOOKS, vile. And my mouth-on-legs cat truly looked up at me as if to say, "are you taking the puss? " and walked away.

If you want to talk about chicken in a can, look at this... http://ihatemymessageboard.com/2009/04/23/a-whole-chicken-in -a-can/

Oh no - mindi1 - don't be "negative" ... LOL :)
We are supposed to be "supportive" here - which I was - BUT then I'd really like to meet someone who truly likes the stuff - you see they keep selling it - so someone must be buying it ...
So WHO is it - 'fess up people :)

Yeah - BUT that is not the "lovely" chop chop variety we have here in NZ.

I actually quite like it in a sandwich. I take a ciabatta roll to work straight from the freezer, along with a can of chop chop chicken, I like the one with mustard and mayo, and just make a fresh sandwich at lunchtime. Much better than what I thought it would be like, and quite tasty for a quick easy lunch.
