Are you bored with the same meals night after night? 

Are you tired of ground beef? Do you have no room for ground pork, veal, or lamb in your life?

Well, it’s time to give the ground chicken a try! It’s nice and lean, and at my grocery store, it costs almost $2 less per pound than lean ground beef. 

PLUS, it’s just downright delicious! 

This list includes everything from meatballs to pasta dishes, hamburgers, and stuffed peppers! There is something here to make everyone in your family happy!

And if you’re living a lower-carb life, you’ll love the macros for ground chicken. On average, a 4-ounce serving has 2.5 grams of fat, 2 grams of carbs, and 22 grams of protein. Yeah, you read that correctly—22 grams of protein.

It’s filling, cheaper than ground beef, and perfectly fits all your favorite ground meat recipes.
