For this recipe since we are just doing small bacon pieces, cooking them in a skillet works perfectly. Plus, we also want that delicious bacon flavor left in the pan for cooking the onions and apples. Ground chicken is leaner than ground beef, but because it is leaner, you need to add fat and moisture to it. In this case we add bacon to it to make it more moist and tender. Ground chicken is a great way to mix up your proteins and flavors, and on it’s own it is healthier.
