Chicken Sloppy Joes
These easy chicken sloppy joes are saucy, flavorful, and ready in under 30 minutes- an amazing lighter twist on the classic.
Ingredients
- 450 g ground chicken
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 2 tablespoon BBQ sauce
- 2 bell pepper
- 2 onion
- 3-4 garlic
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 2 tablespoon oil
Instructions
- Heat oil in a pan and sauté the onions, garlic and bell peppers for a minute. Now add the ground chicken.
- Cook it down for a couple of minutes, and add the seasonings and sauces.
- Mix well and continue cooking for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Take off heat, cool and spoon onto toasted buns. Top with your favorite toppings and serve.
Notes
- Cook the mixture on medium heat and keep stirring to prevent burning.
- Make sure you don't overcook the chicken. 5-7 minutes is enough for the chicken to cook through and still stay soft and juicy.
- You can also bulk up the mixture by adding chopped veggies like zucchini, mushrooms, onions, carrots and bell peppers.
- Don't skip toasting the buns. This takes just a few minutes, but it does the magic and keeps the bread from soaking up all the sauce immediately.
- You can use a potato masher to mash up the chicken mixture while it is cooking. This will help you get that uniform texture you're looking for.
