Ingredients
-
1 clove garlic, minced
1 lb. ground chicken
1 cup onion, diced
1/4 cup green pepper, diced
6 whole-wheat hamburger buns
2 cups instant or pre-cooked brown rice
1/2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
3/4 cup ketchup
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce
1 tsp. mustard
1 tsp. white vinegar
1/4 cup water
Directions
Prepare rice according to package directions.
While the rice is cooking, begin making the sloppy joes.
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat and add the chicken. Stir to separate the meat and then add the onions, peppers, garlic, salt and pepper. Continue cooking until the meat is cooked and the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
In a measuring cup or small bowl, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, vinegar and ¼ cup water.
Once the rice is cooked, drain and add to the skillet. Add the liquid ingredients into the meat and rice mixture and stir well to combine all the ingredients. Continue to simmer for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Serve between whole-wheat buns.

Loved the idea of a lighter, healthier sloppy joe, and the overall flavor was surprisingly good. But this recipe seemed to call for WAY too much rice, which ended up overwhelming the chicken and everything else. Will try cutting back on the rice next time for a slightly meatier, saucier taste. - 3/3/14

May be quick, but not very healthy
