Fat Saving Secrets: Substitute 2 pounds lean ground chicken. However; if you grind the chicken yourself, you can control and fat content to ensure that no fatty skin is added. Turkey can be used instead of chicken to reduce the fat content even more.

Mini Chicken Muffins: Bake mixture in greased miniature muffin tins for 15 to 18 minutes. They're perfect as hors d'oeuvres, or to put in the kids lunch boxes.
