Ground Chicken Stroganoff

Comfort food is always a great option for dinner. But just because a meal is filling doesn’t mean it has to be fattening! With this easy ground chicken stroganoff, you can prepare a classic comfort dinner with less fat and calories than the traditional recipe. And the best part about this easy dinner idea is that you can prepare the ingredients ahead of time and store them in the freezer until you’re ready to eat!Ground chicken is not something I had cooked with at all prior to the past two years. It was around then that I discovered how inexpensive it was in comparison to other meats and went about finding recipes I could use it in. So far, this Ground Chicken Stroganoff, our Thai Chili Chicken Lettuce Wraps, and BBQ Chicken Sloppy Joes have been the best we’ve tried.
