Recipe: Chicken Parmesan Sloppy Joes
Chicken Parmesan Sloppy Joes
Prep Time5 Minutes
Servings4
Cook Time20 Minutes
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ white onion, diced
1 pound ground chicken
1 cup shredded zucchini
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 ½ cups marinara
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup breadcrumbs
4 sandwich buns (we loved toasted brioche buns for these)
Directions
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the diced onion, cooking until it starts to soften, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the ground chicken and cook until browned, breaking it up into chunks as you go.
  4. Once the chicken is cooked, add the shredded zucchini and Italian seasoning and cook until the zucchini softens, another 3 to 4 minutes.
  5. Add the marinara and cook for another 5 minutes.
  6. Finally, add the mozzarella, turn the heat to low and cover until the cheese is melted, about 4 to 5 minutes. Alternately, if you are making this in an oven-proof skillet, you can broil the cheese to melt it.
  7. Top with golden buttered breadcrumbs and serve on toasted brioche buns
  8. You can make the breadcrumbs while the chicken mixture is cooking. To make the buttered breadcrumbs: Heat the butter over medium heat.
  9. Add the breadcrumbs and stir to mix with the melted butter.
  10. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the breadcrumbs are slightly golden.
