Notes from the kitchen
Macros assume 94% lean ground chicken breast at raw weight. Brand and trim vary — recalculate against your label if your ground chicken runs leaner or fattier. Food safety: cook ground chicken to 165°F. Refrigerate within 2 hours, store 3-4 days, reheat to 165°F before eating.
Keep cooking.
