Review:
This is another great summer meal with fresh yummy toppings. You could also use this meat for a taco salad. I loved that you didn’t have to brown the meat and it still worked. The ground chicken is lean enough that it doesn’t sit in a bunch of grease.
I love ground chicken. It is easy to cook, flavorful and very healthy. If you haven’t tried ground chicken yet, do it. My family is loving it. I enjoy it much more than ground beef. You can substitute it in most any recipe that calls for ground beef or ground turkey.
