Devilish Sloppy Chicken Mini Sammies/Sandwiches - Rachael Ray

Submitted by MaryMatt1016

"This Rachael Ray recipe is a weekday standby, and a huge hit at my house. It works just as well made with ground beef, and just about any spicy mustard works (My favorite is chipotle, but habanero mustard is good, too). If you're watching calories, skip the rolls, and serve it over lightly sauteed strips of red bell pepper, or green beans."

My whole family loved this recipe. Very nice flavors. I used Frank's Hot Sauce, Dijon mustard and 1 tablespoon brown sugar. I also had brioche buns on hand so I used those. Nice alternative to beef. Thanks!

This was pretty good. I made exactly as is. Leftovers the next day were better since the flavors seem to meld together. DH didn't care for it but I think he would like it if I had used beef so maybe next time. Thanks!!
