40 minSloppy joes get a lighter makeover here, and the kids won’t even notice the swap.
Ground chicken browns up fast in a hot skillet with chopped bell pepper and onion, then simmers in a sloppy joe sauce until thick and saucy.
Cooked rice gets stirred in at the end, which stretches the filling and makes every bite hearty and satisfying.
Spoon it over hamburger buns, English muffins, or whatever bread you’ve got on hand.
This is 40-minute comfort food that feeds six without breaking a sweat.
Kitchen Tips
- Break the ground chicken into small crumbles as it cooks for the best texture in each bite
- Add a splash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne if your crew can handle some heat
- Use leftover rice to make this even faster on a busy weeknight
- Top with pickles and a slice of sharp cheddar for an extra-loaded version
