BUFFALO CHICKEN SLOPPY JOES

Guaranteed to be an instant comfort food favorite. Inspired by a Rachel Ray recipe, I have modified it by adding a creamy and cheesy kick to it. You'll be dreaming about this dish. Feel free to play with the recipe. I put in the cream cheese and Cheddar to make it creamier. I am a huge fan of Buffalo Chicken Dip and wanted this dish to be similar.

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds ground chicken
1 onion, chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic, or to taste

Time 4h10m

Yield 1 cup servings, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

2 (15 1/2 ounce) cans of hunts manwich sloppy joe sandwich sauce
6 chicken breasts
3 baking potatoes or 6 medium red potatoes, washed and cut in half and then sliced to about 1/2 inch thick
1/4 cup baby carrots, chopped

Steps:

Add 1 1/2 cans Sloppy Joe Mix and remaining ingredients. Cook on high 4 hours or until the chicken shreds. If you are home, turn the chicken and potatoes every hour or so if not, it is not necessary. If potatoes are not cooked you can take the chicken out and shred and continue to cook potatoes. Then return the chicken and extra sauce heat through. Serve on rolls or with crusty bread and a healthy salad.

Tips:

For a tangy twist, use barbecue sauce instead of ketchup.
Add a smoky flavor by cooking the chicken with a tablespoon of liquid smoke.
For a healthier version, use ground turkey or chicken breast instead of ground beef.
Make it a complete meal by serving the sloppy joes over mashed potatoes or rice.
To save time, use a pre-shredded coleslaw mix.
For a more flavorful sandwich, toast the buns before assembling the sloppy joes.
Garnish the sloppy joes with chopped green onions or cilantro for a pop of color and freshness.
