I'm curious on how are using chicken pieces is easier than buying a package of already ground lean chicken breast?

It's the flaw of rural bliss. The nearest place to buy ground chicken is in Shreveport and that's an hours drive from me. You substitute what you can actually get for what the recipe actually calls for.

re - chicken in sauce -

ground chicken is nice for making burgers or sausage or even meatballs/meatloaf - but for real chicken in sauce - chicken pieces can't be beat and if fried just right, they are tender and juicy and it is just fabulous!

I've seen Ground turkey in my "Burg" from time to time but the only ground chicken I've seen around here has been "Road Kill".

tooo funny!

just grab some chicken pieces when they are on sale - the boneless skinless breast and thighs make it really easy - and grind away!

I would never purchase ground chicken in the store - too many years in the food industry and I can just imagine what they do to it and what it is made from -
