My Ground Chicken Recipes

I don't see a lot of ground (minced) chicken recipes in my cookbooks, compared to other ground meats. It can be used in place of ground turkey or even ground beef but it does have a different flavor. I thought I'd do a round-up so that anyone looking for ground chicken recipes here can find them all in one place.

I can honestly say that not one of the ground chicken recipes that I've tried has been a disappointment. In fact, most, if not all, of them have been better than average. These aren't my best ground chicken recipes or my favorite ground chicken recipes, they're all my ground chicken recipes because they've all been good - no lie.

Here they are:

Chicken Cakes with Teriyaki Sauce



Cranberry Meatloaf


Spicy Chicken Lettuce Wraps


Chicken Chili


Ground Chicken Gumbo



Savory Apple-Chicken Sausage:



Spanakopita Chicken Meatballs with Spicy Cucumber Yogurt Sauce:



Buffalo Chicken Meatballs:

I've only used ground turkey so far, and I prefer it over ground beef, but I wonder if ground chicken tastes even better! Those barbecue chicken patties with mushrooms sound tasty! :)

I have only worked with ground beef, but your little round-up makes me want to buy ground chicken right now!

These look great Paula. I have quite a few ground chicken (known as chicken mince here in Australia) recipes but I'm always happy to try a new one :)

Ground Chicken is so much better than ground turkey in my opinion. The turkey has a strong flavor that is just not present in the chicken. For someone who is just switching over from ground beef to a healthy alternative, ground chicken will allow the transition much easier.

I have ground chicken staring at me at this very moment - daring me to do something amazing. Think I will take him on and try one of your recipes. May the best human/leftover chicken win.

Yesterday I had ground chicken I had to do something with and decided I would mix 1 pound of the ground chicken with 1 cup of leftover cooked rice, egg, salt, pepper and dried onion. Dredged it in a new product by Morton Season All Crusting and made into balls that I browned in a little olive oil.
After I added a small can of chunk pineapple and sweet stir fry sauce. Served over rice and surprisely we all really liked it.

I have another addition for you. If you want a really fast ground chicken recipe (you can really use any ground meat) with few ingredients try lettuce wraps. Its ground chicken cooked with sauted onions and some soy sauce and oyster sauce (I don't really measure), then i add a can of mung beans. Serve it in a romain lettuce leaf and it is like P.F. Chang's version but much healthier!

I've been using ground chicken as an alternitive for some time and agree that it has a milder taste compared to turkey. I do notice that it does not absorb liquid as well as turkey or beef. I just cut back on the amount that I would normaly use. always a hit at my house. Can't wait to try out the chicken burgers!!!

I found a pound of ground chicken at the 99 cents store. Man if I had come to this web site sooner I would have bought several. Oh my gosh there are so many wonderful recipes here I don't know which to choose.

If you like pesto, mix 2 TBS of jar pesto with ground chicken and parmesan cheese. Make patties and grill burgers. When ready to serve, mix mayo and pesto to spread on bun. Top with lettace, tomato and red onion. You have a great but easy chicken pesto burger.

i always make chili con carni with ground chicken and use a combo of 1/2 ground breast and 1/2 ground thigh. I also mince mushrooms to a fine consistancy and fry it with the chicken so the chicken doesn't dry out. Mushrooms keep everything moist but my family hates mushrooms. this way they don't even know that they are in there.

I don't know if any of you have tried the ground chicken from Good Shepherd Poultry. It has the best nutritional values. It also is the best ground chicken that I have ever tasted. Their ground chicken is made from Heritage chickens. That means that they are not scientifically altered in any way.

I prefer ground chicken to turkey. The lean chicken has fewer calorie than turkey and taste better.

I look forward to trying the spanakopita balls.

I buy ground chicken breast when it's on "red tag" sale at the supermarket. I find the best way to use it is to stuff red and green bell peppers, which are in season and plentiful right now. Just brown the chicken with some onions and garlic, stir in some leftover rice and tomato sauce, fresh or dried herbs. Stuff peppers and sprinkle with parmesan. Cover and bake for an hour or so. Delicious!
