Ground Chicken

For the leanest ground meat, only use chicken breasts when grinding.


The tender meat of chicken complements almost any flavor or way of cooking. Due to this, it has been used throughout the world for thousands of years as a protein source. Full of niacin, selenium, and vitamin B, chicken is a healthy means of obtaining needed protein in your diet. However, this does not have to be in a whole form, and can also be ground to form burgers, balls and used in any way that regular ground beef is.


Instructions


1. Rinse the chicken meat under running water, ensuring every piece has been rinsed. Pat it dry with paper towels, discarding them afterward. This removes any excess bacteria from the outside of the meat.


2. Place the meat on the cutting board. Chop it in to 1-inch cubes.








3. Place the meat in the processor. Screw the lid on tightly.


4. Turn the machine to pulse setting. Press a high-speed button, holding it for one to two seconds and then letting it go and allowing the meat to rest at the bottom of the machine. After one to two seconds, press the button again.








5. Continue pulsing the chicken as in step 4 until the desired consistency has been achieved. Remove and use as desired.
