I think your mistake was getting ground chicken that wasn't completely white meat. Ground Turkey breast also is fine. Always check the fat content... usually if it is only white meat (no skin or dark meat ground in there too) then it is only about 1 gram of fat.
Both Aaron's Kosher 99% Fat Free Turkey ground turkey breast or the Turkey Store brand work well - it can be confusing though, because they also sell the the kind that is not just the ground breast so you must read and be careful. Another way to tell is the price... usually about $6 per pound compared to $4 for the bad stuff.
I have also found, sporadically, that they carry ground chicken breast raw patties at Trader Joe's - if you're in the mood for a burger.
