Notes

If desired you can sub panko for regular bread crumbs.
Make sure the canned chicken is VERY WELL drained. Canned chicken has tons of moisture. I actually recommend draining it in a colander by using a spoon to press it into the sides to ensure as much moisture as possible is removed.
Adjust the seasoning to suit your tastes.
