Ingredients

For The Slaw:

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons Kewpie mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon chili crisp
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 cups shredded coleslaw veggie mix

For The Sloppy Joes:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • ½ small white onion finely chopped
  • ½ red bell pepper finely chopped
  • ¾ cup Asian BBQ Sauce
  • 4 hamburger buns

Instructions

  • In medium bowl, whisk together lime juice, mayonnaise and chili crisp. Add cilantro and coleslaw mix; toss to combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, onion and bell pepper; cook 6 to 8 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are softened, breaking up chicken with side of spoon as it cooks.
  • Stir in Asian BBQ Sauce. Reduce heat to medium and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until sauce is hot and thickly coats chicken. If mixture seems too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  • Divide sloppy joe mixture between buns and top with slaw. Serve immediately.
