Can this be done with chicken breast instead of pork?
Yes, you can use chicken breast instead. The texture and taste will change slightly.
I was told not to place raw meat in the blendtec… this recipe is clearly showing you can …so can I trust that this can be done..a little confused
Hi Kim,
You can put raw meat in a Blendtec. Just be sure you clean it thoroughly afterwards.
