    Cook Chicken In a small skillet, combine the ground chicken and water. Using a wooden spoon, break up the chicken and cook, stirring constantly, until the chicken is opaque, and no pink remains, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Wash hands and all surfaces that came in contact with raw chicken.
