This brought me back to my childhood! I think this is even better than traditional sloppy joes. The BBQ sauce with the chicken is what really makes the dish stand out! Loved it.

This is a keeper! It delivers an avalanche of flavors with diabetic friendly numbers. I used the food processor grate (grind) the chicken and I learned something. If your going to do this let the chicken fully thaw first, I'll try it at about 50% next time. I didn't have any green pepper but red worked perfectly well. Be sure to use your favorite BBQ sauce as it's really the predominant player. Made for Photo Tag.

This was made on 6/19/10 to add to my freezer stash. And due to what was on hand this is how it was made, I used ground turkey instead of chicken. And I used about 1 1/2 cups of " Sweet Baby Ray's Hickory and Brown Sugar BBQ Sauce " ( We like ours a bit more on the sloppy side :) ) I did have a taste before adding to the freezer, and it's a " Keeper " Thanks for posting and " Keep Smiling :) "

Had some shredded & frozen chicken breast that I had to use up before making more of the same, & so I used that in place of the ground chicken, but other than that, the recipe was followed right on down! So easy to make these great tasting sandwiches! I even used a homemade BBQ sauce which made these even more special! Thanks for a great recipe keeper!

It was a hit. No leftovers is always a sign that dinner was good. It was so easy. I used Sticky Finger Memphis Original as my sauce and Perdue ground chicken.
