About Chicken, ground, raw
This versatile poultry option is made from finely chopped or ground chicken meat, often including both white and dark meat along with some skin and fat. It's a lean protein source that can be prepared in various ways, making it popular for quick meals and meal prep. The raw form allows for maximum flexibility in seasoning and preparation methods.
Nutritionally, this protein source offers an impressive 17.4 grams of protein per 100-gram serving while remaining relatively low in carbohydrates at just 0.6 grams per serving. With 8.1 grams of fat per 100 grams, it provides a moderate fat content that includes both saturated and unsaturated fats. The protein content makes it particularly valuable for those looking to maintain or build muscle mass, while the low carbohydrate content suits those following low-carb or ketogenic diets. When cooking, it's important to handle raw poultry safely and ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to prevent foodborne illness.
This ground poultry is incredibly versatile in the kitchen. It can be formed into patties for burgers, shaped into meatballs, or used as a filling for lettuce wraps. Many people use it as a leaner alternative to ground beef in recipes like tacos, chili, or pasta sauces. It also works well in Asian-inspired dishes such as stir-fries or lettuce cups. For those watching their fat intake, choosing versions with a higher proportion of white meat can reduce the overall fat content while maintaining the high protein value.
