ground chicken

Minced bird meat

Ground chicken is chicken meat that has been finely chopped or minced, typically using a meat grinder.

It serves as a leaner alternative to ground beef in recipes like burgers, meatballs, and tacos: I substituted ground chicken for a lighter version of the bolognese.

The meat usually combines light and dark cuts, though ground chicken breast is available for those seeking lower fat content.
