Greek Chicken Sloppy Joes
Description
This recipe starts by browning ground chicken with onions and green bell pepper, leaving some chunks to maintain texture and sandwich stability. After browning, garlic, tomato sauce, chicken broth, tomato paste, and oregano are added and cooked until the sauce reduces to a sloppy consistency, infusing the mixture with Mediterranean flavors.
Before serving, the dish is topped with crumbled feta cheese and chopped kalamata olives, which add creaminess and a briny sharpness typical of Greek cuisine. The sloppy Joe filling is ideal for piling onto toasted brioche buns, which provide a soft, slightly sweet contrast to the savory filling.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 red onion chopped
- 1/2 cup green bell pepper chopped
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 cup feta cheese
- 1/2 cup kalamata olives
Instructions
- Add the chicken, olive oil, onions and green bell pepper to a large skillet on medium high heat breaking it apart but leaving some chunks about the size of a raspberry or small grape (don't crush the heck out of it, the larger crumbles will help give the sandwich stability).
- Cook until well browned (5-6 minutes), then add in the garlic, tomato sauce, chicken broth, tomato paste, and oregano and continue cooking until the sauce starts to evaporate and the mixture becomes "sloppy" (about 5-6 minutes).
- When the sauce is reduced top with feta and olives and serve inside a toasted brioche bun.
