Chicken Joes Recipes

BUFFALO CHICKEN SLOPPY JOES

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once heated, add the onion, carrots, and celery to the pan and sprinkle with salt. Sauté for a few minutes until softened. Add in the garlic and cook for another minute.
• Add in the ground chicken and break it up into pieces. Cook until the meat is browned.
• Stir in the tomato sauce and hot sauce. Turn the heat to low. Cover the pan, and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
• Uncover the pan and give everything a good stir. Continue to cook, uncovered, for another couple minutes until the sauce reduces and thickens a bit. If the mixture seems dry, stir in 1/4 cup water or chicken broth. If the mixture has too much liquid, keep simmering until the sauce thickens.
• Add the sloppy joe mixture to the buns, and serve with blue cheese, ranch dressing, and chives if desired.

PULLED CHICKEN SLOPPY JOES (SLOPPY CHICKENS)

Steps:

• Add vegetable oil to a saucepan, and then add (in this order) garlic, yellow onion, brown sugar, kosher salt, black pepper, cayenne, chicken thighs, ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce.
• Place over high heat and wait until you can hear the garlic sizzling in the bottom of the pan, about 30 seconds. Let garlic sizzle for about 30 seconds before adding the water. Stir everything together and wait for the mixture to boil.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until the chicken falls apart, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Stir in the green onions and peppers and cook until the peppers just turn tender, 3 to 5 minutes more. Taste for seasoning.
• Remove from heat and serve on toasted hamburger buns.
