Description

Chopped chicken is chicken meat that has been cut into small pieces or ground, ideal for a wide variety of culinary recipes. It is commonly used in dishes such as stews, stuffings, meatballs, patties, and sauces, as its texture allows for quick cooking and a balanced mix with other ingredients.

Chicken is a food that originated in Asia, although its consumption and farming have spread globally for thousands of years. It is one of the most popular white meats in world cuisine due to its mild flavor and versatility.

Regarding its properties, chopped chicken is an excellent source of lean protein, low in saturated fat, and rich in B-complex vitamins, especially niacin and vitamin B6, which aid in metabolism and energy production. It also provides essential minerals such as phosphorus and selenium.

In different regions of Latin America, the term chopped chicken may have various synonyms, such as ground chicken, shredded chicken (when separated into fibers rather than pieces), or diced chicken, depending on the degree of cutting and the specific preparation required by the recipe.
