Shopping Tip
Not every market sells ground chicken, however, we used Foster Farms and found it at Von’s/Safeway. Ground turkey works well with this recipe too.
Oroweat Whole Wheat Sandwich Thins can be found in most large supermarkets. If you can’t find them use ½ of a whole wheat english muffin for each sandwich.
