I wanted to do something with ground chicken that would be different yet easy and tasty. I surpassed my expectations when concocting this dish. Try in any type of bread — pita, lafa, baguettes…. This sauce will taste amazing with any of them!

Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • garlic pepper, to season

  • dash of hot sauce, or to taste

  • 1/2 cup water, plus more if necessary

  • pitas, baguettes, or other bread of choice (gluten-free if desired)

  • shredded lettuce (optional)

Directions

Prepare the Sloppy Joes

1.

In a large frying pan, sauté onion in oil until golden; add red pepper and sauté until softened.

2.

Add chicken to the pan; sauté and stir with a mixing spoon to break up clumps.

3.

Once the chicken is white, add sauces and seasoning, continuing to stir.

4.

Pour in water and cook another four to five minutes over medium heat, until the chicken is cooked through. Add additional water if necessary to reach a saucy consistency.

5.

Slit the tops of your bread and form pockets; line with lettuce if desired.

6.

Spoon chicken and sauce into bread. Serve immediately.

Whichever one you would like, but the recipe probably uses the sweet and sour sauce.

You can serve it on mashed potatoes/sweet potatoes, mashed root veggis, quinoa, couscous, pasta, spaghetti, or as is with a salad or cooked vegetables on the side.

i thought it was delicious, and even my 3 year old who has an iron-clad rule to never touch ground meat of any kind in any form managed a couple spoons of this 😉
