This has been great for my pureed foods part of after surgery care.
Tuna Frappe*
5 hard boiled eggs
4 cans of water packed tuna
1Tbsp plain Greek yogurt
1/2 tsp mustard
pickle juice to taste (I added 1Tbsp)
Combine all ingredients in blender & blend until smooth with no lumps.

The recipe's huge because I have no patience for just making up 1 can of tuna at a time.
*Frappe was the highest setting on my old blender :)

Here's a recipe I played around with. There's a couple things I'd try differently for fun next time, but this was tasty! It's basically hot sauce with the seasonings you typically find in a ranch dressing, without the buttermilk powder or salt.
This works out to about 9 -3oz servings, but I think you can scale it to whatever amount of chicken you want, this is just what I had on hand.
In slow cooker add:
28 oz of chicken breast
2 cups of Franks hot sauce
1t of garlic powder
1t onion powder
1/2t dill
1/4t ground pepper
1T dried parsley
Thats it. Once it's cooked, I shredded it, and left it in the sauce on warm until we were ready to eat.
i added 1/2oz of cream cheese to my serving and ate it with a couple of celery sticks and red pepper. My husband had the chicken as is on a kaiser.
Note:
next time, I think I'll substitute some of the franks for chicken stock, and see how that goes. I think 2 cups is a lot of hot sauce, but on the other hand, wonder if the stock would cut the heat too much..
also, I'd add dried chives, I just didn't have any.
nutritional info:
this is not a low sodium recipe, so keep that in mind if you are watching your sodium. I ran it through MFP, and a 3oz serving comes to: 163 calories, 26.7 protein, 4.1 carbs. (Not including cream cheese)

I've seen several sugar-free versions in the grocery stores lately.
Haven't tried them but was thinking they may be good mixed with coffee.
