Ground Chicken Question

You can but it will be drier and less flavorful than beef.
I like it enough when making tacos but don't really like it as a substitute in anything else.

Yes I have done it with turkey but not chicken but some concept.

I haven't used ground chicken, but we do sub ground turkey in spaghetti sauce. Works fine, but there is a difference in taste.

I've found that adding a packet (or two) of beef bouillon minimizes that difference. If you're also looking to also lower sodium, you can find low-sodium or sodium-free bouillon online.

Yes, you can do it.
It will taste a little different but it won't be bad.

I have used ground chicken, though it seems to have a higher moisture content so watch the flame. I usually use ground turkey and it always comes out great

i have used ground chicken and turkey when hamburger was stated in the recipe.

make sure that you use MORE sauce/broth, etc. as chicken and turkey are typically drier than hamburger

I've done ground chicken in pasta sauce and chili. A little different taste but I don't think it made much of a difference.

I never have substituted it for ground beef.

I do purchase it and fry it like ground beef in a skillet to brown it and use it for my dogs to mix it with brown rice. They love it!

Here's a really good article from Bon Appetit about this:

Basically, the difference between ground chicken and ground beef is fat and moisture. Beef has more of both, and you might notice a lack of flavor and moisture if you substitute chicken for beef.

Ground chicken needs fat, like Greek yogurt, butter, avocado oil or smashed avocado, or bacon, or coconut manna when you're using it in meatballs, and sauces. It doesn't have to be a lot, just a little. Or if you are trying to avoid fat, add some other kind of moisture to the chicken. Oat milk, or extra tomato sauce, might help.

If you grind your own chicken, use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts, as the thighs are more flavorful and contain a little more moisture and fat than the breasts. Or, look for ground turkey - just don't choose the package that says "extra lean".
