Notes
- The meat — When purchasing ground chicken, going for a lean one is smart. The 80/20 ratio works the best. Otherwise, your filling will be too soggy. If there is extra fat, drain the ground chicken.
- Serving — You could serve the dipping sauce separately in a serving bowl instead of pouring it over the filling.
