Ground chicken

Ground chicken is finely chopped chicken meat, typically processed from breasts, thighs, or a mixture of both. This ingredient is very versatile and is used in a wide variety of recipes, from meatballs, burgers, and fillings to sauces and stews.

Ground chicken is a rich source of lean protein, low in saturated fat, and with a moderate calorie content, making it a healthy choice for balanced diets. Furthermore, it is a good source of B-complex vitamins, such as niacin and B6, which are important for energy metabolism and the nervous system.

Regarding its origin, ground chicken comes from the domestic chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus), whose consumption is common in practically all cultures around the world, adapting to numerous culinary preparations.

In different regions of Latin America, ground chicken may also be known as carne de pollo picada, pollo picado, or pollo triturado, terms that are used interchangeably depending on the country or region to refer to finely processed chicken meat.
