How To Make BBQ Chicken Sloppy Joes

*Note:  The full printable recipe card is at the bottom of this post.

• Sauté diced onion and chopped sweet bell pepper until they are soft.
• Add ground chicken and cook through.
• Stir in some tomato sauce and barbecue sauce.
• Let it simmer until the sauce thickens up.
• Then, serve the meat on hamburger buns.

You can adjust the flavor by using different types of BBQ sauce in this recipe.  I used Sweet Baby Rays because I like my BBQ sauce to be sweet and tangy.  But, you could use spicy BBQ sauce, mustard based sauce, Kansas-style, etc.
