Cooking with ground chicken
Ground chicken is a soft, mild meat that cooks in minutes. It works in meatballs, patties, lettuce wraps, chili, pasta sauce and dumpling fillings. Because it is lean, it can turn dry or bland without some help.
Add onion, garlic, herbs, breadcrumbs or a little oil to keep it moist and tasty. Compared to ground beef, it is lighter in flavor and needs more seasoning. Unlike other chicken cuts, it needs no slicing or trimming.
