Chicken Sloppy Joes

Normally when I make Sloppy Joes I make a vegetarian version that I really love. I had some ground chicken that needed to be used and thought it would be fun to come up with a version utilizing that instead of the mushrooms I usually use, or ground beef, which I in truth have a love/hate relationship with (sometimes I like it, most of the time I don't, and I don't like handling it at all!) and have never actually used to make Sloppy Joes. The chicken was just perfect! If you're looking for a slightly different twist on a classic then look no further...You've found just the dish for you!

What You'll Need:
Extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound of ground chicken
1 - 15 ounce can of tomato sauce
3 tablespoons of natural brown sugar
3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons of A-1 Steak Sauce

In a large skillet over medium heat sauté onion and bell pepper in a little extra virgin olive oil until tender with a pinch of sea salt and some freshly ground black pepper:

Remove onions and pepper from skillet and cook meat until done through:

Once meat is browned add pepper and onions back to the skillet and stir to mix:

Stir in tomato sauce, brown sugar, vinegar and A-1 Sauce until incorporated. Bring to a quick boil and then lower heat to a simmer for 20-25 minutes to let the flavors meld a bit.

Serve on buns.

Note: These are perfect with oven fries. I paired them with sweet potato oven fries. A side salad would be great too and round things out quite nicely!
