Chicken Sloppy Joes?

Hey JayTee, I've used ground turkey but never chicken. This was before I decided to start eating healthy so the recipe was Manwich. The lady I was dating then didn't eat red meat or pork so that's why we used turkey. To make it now I would have to find or create a recipe for better sauce. It was very tasty with the Manwich though.0

This is my "go-to" sloppy joe recipe (can be used w/any type of ground meat but when ground chicken is on sale, I buy it and make these. I'm kind of a "throw it together" type of cook so these measurements might not be spot on)
20 oz ground chicken (85/15)
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1 jalapeño, seeded and finely minced (optional)
2 cups no salt tomato sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
A splash of water or chicken stock
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder (or 1 tsp minced garlic)
Sprinkle of hot sauce (if desired)
salt and pepper (to taste)
DIRECTIONS
Add a drizzle of olive oil to a large nonstick skillet on medium heat. Add onion, green pepper, garlic & jalapeño. Saute for a couple minutes. Add the ground chicken until cooked. (drain any excess fat)
Stir in the tomato sauce, water, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce; mix thoroughly. Reduce the heat to simmer, cover, and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes or so. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve on a bun, or to reduce carbs I use Wasa 7-grain crackers - smear the sloppy joes on them and you're good to go (3 big crackers=60 calories)
