EXPERT TIPS

1. Break up the meat: As the ground chicken cooks, break the meat up with a wooden spoon OR my favorite tool: a potato masher! This gets the meat broken up nice and fine!
2. Simmer: This dish comes together quickly and is packed with flavor, even if you only simmer it for about 15 minutes. But feel free to cook it longer! If it gets a bit thick, add more chicken stock.
3. Meal prep: I LOVE this dish for meal prep because it keeps so well in the fridge and gets better every day! Store in an airtight container for 4-5 days.
