Elevate your weeknight dinner with these flavorful Chicken Sloppy Joes! Made with lean ground chicken, sautรฉed vegetables, and a rich, tangy sauce, this updated take on the classic sloppy joe is sure to become a family favorite. Serve on toasted brioche buns for a touch of indulgence that perfectly complements the hearty filling.

    Ingredients

    • 2 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)
    • 1 lb ground chicken
    • 1/2 medium yellow onion, finely diced
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 medium green bell pepper, finely diced
    • 1/2 cup ketchup
    • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
    • 2 tbsp tomato paste
    • 1 tsp chili powder
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1/4 cup water (add more if needed)
    • 4-6 brioche buns

    Instructions

    1. Cook the Chicken and Vegetables:

    • Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken, diced onion, minced garlic, and green bell pepper.
    • Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking up the chicken as it cooks, until the chicken is no longer pink and the vegetables are tender.

    2. Make the Sauce:

    • Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, tomato paste, chili powder, and salt.
    • Pour in 1/4 cup of water and stir to coat the chicken and vegetables evenly.

    3. Simmer the Mixture:

    • Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce should thicken slightly, and the flavors will meld together beautifully.

    4. Toast the Buns:

    • While the chicken mixture simmers, lightly butter the brioche buns and toast them on a griddle or in the oven until golden brown.

    5. Assemble and Serve:

    • Spoon the chicken sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom halves of the toasted buns. Place the top halves on and serve immediately.
