Ground chicken is a healthier alternative to ground beef. A lot of people do not like it since its less flavorful as compared to beef. But I assure you, if you make it my way it will be a weekly dish in your house too. Since it has less fat and fewer calories you can have a bigger portion too. I sneak in veggies too so it makes it more nutritious.
