Minced chicken, also known as ground chicken, is finely chopped or processed chicken meat commonly made from lean cuts like breast or thigh. A versatile ingredient, it features prominently in cuisines worldwide, including Asian, Mediterranean, and Western dishes, such as dumplings, meatballs, pasta sauces, and stir-fries. Packed with high-quality protein, minced chicken supports muscle growth and repair while being relatively lower in fat compared to other ground meats like beef or pork. It's a good source of essential nutrients like B vitamins, iron, phosphorus, and zinc, which contribute to energy production and immune support. However, its healthfulness depends on the preparation; store-bought varieties may contain higher sodium levels, and added fats or frying can diminish its nutritional value. Opting for leaner cuts and cooking methods like grilling or steaming can preserve its benefits while minimizing unhealthy extras.
