Ground Chicken Sloppy Joes (Asian-Inspired)
These ground chicken sloppy joes are a homemade take on traditional sloppies, and filled with delicious Asian flavors. Best of all, they come together in 20 minutes!
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- 4 cups packed shredded coleslaw veggie mix divided
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 green bell pepper chopped
- 3 garlic cloves minced

- ¼ cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 4 hamburger buns
Instructions
- In medium bowl, whisk together vinegar and sesame oil. Add onions and 2 cups shredded coleslaw veggie mix; toss to combine. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Meanwhile, In large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and bell pepper; cook 6 to 8 minutes or until chicken is cooked through, breaking up chicken with side of spoon as it cooks. Add garlic, tomato paste and ginger; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Stir in water, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sriracha and remaining 2 cups shredded coleslaw veggie mix; heat to boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 4 to 5 minutes or until mixture is thickened, stirring occasionally.

Notes
Serving Options
- Flour tortillas – reminsicent of the thin, savory Mandarin pancakes served with moo shu, flour tortillas are a great way to eat sloppy joes. They’re also a trusty serving idea for my Asian pulled pork.
- Lettuce wraps – grab a head of iceberg lettuce or a few small heads of Boston or butter lettuce, and eat this sloppy mixture wrapped in lettuce leaves! I also love lettuce wraps for my red lentil sloppy joes and my best orange chicken recipe.
- Baked potatoes – stuff the sloppy mixture in a big baked potato, like I did for my chicken stuffed potatoes. I can’t figure out how you’d eat this with your hands, so I guess I’ll have to allow you to eat it with a knife and fork (sigh). My husband would be so happy.
