About Lean ground chicken

Lean ground chicken is a versatile protein made from finely minced chicken breast or a combination of white and dark meat, depending on the brand. Originating from global poultry farming practices, it’s a staple in many cuisines, including American, Asian, and Mediterranean dishes. Packed with essential nutrients, it provides a high-quality source of protein that supports muscle development and overall health. It is naturally low in fat compared to ground beef or pork and contains important vitamins like B6 and niacin, which aid in energy metabolism. Additionally, it’s a good source of selenium, a mineral that supports immune function. However, some pre-packaged versions may include additives or have higher sodium levels, so it's beneficial to check labels or opt for freshly ground options. Lean ground chicken is ideal for creating healthier versions of burgers, tacos, stir-fries, and meatballs without compromising on flavor or nutrition.
