Ground Chicken Ideas

[SheilaAnn]

Hey! My chicken supplier gifted me lots of ground chicken. I’ve never used it before. Thoughts? Favorites?

[bbqLuv]

We use ground turkey in place of ground beef. If that helps.
Chili, meatloaf, meatballs, casseroles, spaghetti, but not too good for plain old burgers.

+1 for ground turkey chili

[Bob K]

Feed it to the cat.

sorry.

It's pretty bland so I'd use it in strong-flavored stuff, like a chili or tacos. One idea I saw recently, but haven't tried, is to mince bacon, pre-cook it a bit and then mix into the chicken to form burger patties. Sounds like a winner to me.

[SheilaAnn]

Bob K I know right? That’s why I put it out there…… 😝🤪

[Bob K]

SheilaAnn - my sister had a roughly 200-year-old cat that she actually had to feed raw minced chicken breast for those last dozen or so years it was dying...

[Panhead John]

I like Bob’s cat idea……..😂

[HawkerXP]

Mixed in with other meat for meatloaf. Besure to pick out any chicken lips or toes.

[Duanessmokedmeats]

The lips are the best part.

[STEbbq]

Fried chicken sandwiches or nuggets.

The only thing we use ground chicken for is Japanese Tsukue made in the form of meatballs.

SheilaAnn - I have not. I also made the balls and threaded them on skewers. They are best when grilled over charcoal.

[SheilaAnn]

Bkhuna over charcoal for sure. Now if only I could afford bichotan!

We SV chicken breasts and then pull them, add in cream cheese, green chilies, etc..

might be an option with ground as well.

would make a great filler for enchiladas….

[PGH_RAM]

Woks of Life has recipes for Mapo Tofu and Mapo Eggplant that use ground pork. I'd be willing to bet that chicken would be good in them, too. Might just have to add some oil or lard to make up for the lack of fat.

[SheilaAnn]

I was thinking of lions head meatballs and cut the pork with chicken. BF said we should eat less beef and pork and chicken is better. I Batman-slapped him and he sees the error of his ways. 😝😝😝 jk

I was also thinking using a Guisado flavor profile for tacos, etc. love the skewer idea above.

Impressive.

[johnec00]

Oops, just remembered that I posted the recipes a couple of years ago. I guess the brain cell was out for lunch.

Believe it or not but ground chicken works pretty well with smashburgers and also chopped cheeses.

the higher ratio of cheese to meat in those (and chopping the cheese into the meat in a chopped cheese) helps mask the leanness. You do need to use more fat on the griddle for those - I don’t tend to grease my griddle when using beef but do for ground chicken

also for something way different, you can replicate Quality Italian’s chicken parm pizza. See https://abc7ny.com/amp/chicken-parm-...ality/3507782/ It’s a basically a giant ground chicken patty that is fried and is topped and served like a pizza.

Only one answer for me: Thai Basil Chicken.

[shify]

Good call. I also used ground chicken when making Thai larb

[hoovarmin]

+1 on Thai Basil Chicken

[Murdy]

That would be the dish I order the most at Thai restaurants.

[Jim White]

Chicken lettuce wraps. I make this one with ground chicken:

[Johnny Booth]

+1 that sounds best so far.

[SheilaAnn]

This is awesome! I’ll blow through that ground chicken in no time! They gifted me 7 ea 1# packs.

Chicken lula kebabs.
