Ground beef gets all the attention, but how about ground chicken? Ground chicken doesn’t quite get the love of its beef counterpart, despite being much lighter and leaner than beef — yet a package of ground chicken opens the door for so many fun new recipes to try. Of course, you can always swap out ground beef and turkey for ground chicken in your old favorites — but these ground chicken recipes are sure to give you something new and exciting to try.

Tired of your go-to meatball recipe? Try a batch French onion meatballs. Or some buffalo chicken meatballs, or even a plate of Kung Pao chicken meatballs. Or maybe you’re getting sick of your usual burger recipe — how about miso-glazed chicken burgers? Or perhaps a few mini chicken parmesan sliders? There are some many ways to eat this freezer-friendly type of chicken — so defrost your ground chicken and let’s get started!
