About Extra lean ground chicken

Extra Lean Ground Chicken is a versatile protein option made from finely ground, skinless chicken breast and/or thigh meat, ensuring minimal fat content. Originating from poultry commonly used in American and global cuisines, this ingredient is ideal for creating lighter versions of classic dishes such as chili, tacos, burgers, or stir-fries. Packed with essential nutrients like protein, B vitamins, and selenium, it supports muscle health, energy production, and immune function. Its reduced fat content makes it a heart-healthy choice compared to higher-fat ground meats like beef or pork. However, lean ground chicken can be prone to dryness if not prepared with care, so combining it with moisture-rich ingredients or healthy fats can enhance its texture and flavor. Low in calories and high in nutritional value, Extra Lean Ground Chicken is perfect for those seeking healthier meal options without compromising taste.
