Notes
Ground beef, ground pork and finely diced chicken breasts can be used in this recipe instead of the ground chicken if preferred.
You can use any type of oil with a high smoke point for this recipe. I used avocado oil but olive oil, peanut oil or vegetable oil would work as well.
This recipe cooks quickly. Prepare all the ingredients and have them close to the Blackstone grill when you start to cook it so that nothing burns.
Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Coconut Aminos can be used instead of Soy Sauce in this recipe if needed for a gluten free option.
