Notes
Most ground chicken contains both white and dark meat, and there is 15g of fat in 4oz vs white meat ground chicken, which is 1.5g fat.  Cub and likely other mass grocery retailers do not carry white meat ground chicken and won't grind the breasts for you.  I went to Von Hanson's (a local chain butcher shop) and bought frozen ground white meat chicken for about the same price as the crappy stuff. 


You can lessen the calories in this by using light bread buns.  I use Village Hearth Light Italian Buns, which they have at Cub.
