• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

½ onion (chopped)

2 carrots (finely chopped)

2 celery stalks (finely chopped)

2 cloves garlic (minced)

1 pound ground chicken

8 ounces tomato sauce (1 can)

⅓ cup hot sauce (like Frank’s Red Hot)

4 hamburger buns

crumbled blue cheese

ranch dressing

chopped chives

Directions

Saute

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once heated, add the onion, carrots, and celery to the pan and sprinkle with salt. Sauté for a few minutes until softened. Add in the garlic and cook for another minute.

Cook

Add in the ground chicken and break it up into pieces. Cook until the meat is browned.

Stir in the tomato sauce and hot sauce. Turn the heat to low. Cover the pan, and let it simmer for 5 minutes.

Simmer

Uncover the pan and give everything a good stir. Continue to cook, uncovered, for another 2-4 minutes, until the sauce reduces and thickens to your liking. If the mixture seems dry, stir in ¼ cup water or chicken broth. If the mixture has too much liquid, keep simmering until the sauce thickens.

Serve

Add the sloppy joe mixture to the buns, and serve with blue cheese, ranch dressing, and chives if desired.
