Chicken mince is incredibly versatile and is perfect for use in stir-fries, burger patties, meatballs and rissoles – and that’s only the start. You can even try swapping beef mince for chicken mince in your family’s favourite dinners, like meatballs, spag bol, or sausage rolls.
Mince is a mid-week staple in most households. It’s cheap, goes a long way and is super quick and easy to cook with. Looking for more healthy mince recipes?
