Description

Honey Garlic Chicken Sloppy Joes are a delicious and easy twist on the traditional sloppy joe, featuring ground chicken cooked with honey, soy sauce, garlic, and spices, served on toasted brioche buns with fresh spring mix for a sweet, savory, and slightly tangy flavor perfect for casual meals or gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb extra lean ground chicken
  • 1 cup diced yellow onion
  • 2/3 cup liquid honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon garlic puree
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 4 brioche hamburger buns
  • 1 cup spring mix

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, add ground chicken with a dab of margarine or butter. Crumble and cook for 6-8 minutes until browned and no longer pink.
  3. Add diced onions to the pan and cook until soft and translucent.
  4. Add honey, soy sauce, white vinegar, garlic puree, pepper, and salt. Stir to coat and bring mixture to a boil.
  5. In a small bowl, mix water and corn starch until smooth. Add to the chicken mixture, stir well, and cook for 2 minutes until sauce thickens.
  6. Place brioche buns on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 4 minutes until slightly golden and crisp.
  7. Assemble sandwiches by spooning chicken mixture onto bottom buns, topping with spring mix, then placing top buns.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Do not overcook the chicken to keep it moist.
  • Stir sauce well to avoid lumps from corn starch.
  • Toasting buns prevents sogginess and adds texture.
  • Feel free to add spices like ginger or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
  • Store chicken mixture separately from buns for freshness.
  • Freeze chicken mixture up to 3 months; thaw overnight in fridge before reheating.
