CHICKEN Breast Ground

Size = 1.5lb / 680g. Because ground chicken is so lean, there are a few things to keep in mind before you begin cooking. First, less fat means less moisture. To avoid cooked ground chicken that is dense or dry, it is important to add some moisture to your mixture. This can be done in a number of ways. If you’re preparing meatballs, for example, try mixing in some Greek yogurt or some soaked breadcrumbs. Not only will this add moisture, but it will also help the mixture bind together. Ground chicken also needs to be cooked at a lower temperature than ground beef or pork due to its lower fat content. This will ensure that the chicken does not dry out too quickly. Finally, be sure to season well. Ground chicken’s lighter taste means it has less flavor on its own. This just leaves you more room to get creative!
