Things You'll Need
1 lb. ground or whole chicken
Large skillet
Large spoon
Ground chicken provides a lower fat alternative to ground beef. However, ground chicken tends to contain more liquid, which means that it will need breaking up as it cooks. You do not have to drain off fat when ground chicken cooks, as with beef, and ground chicken will make your Hamburger Helper dish taste lighter than beef. You could also use whole chicken, cut up into smaller pieces.
