The name of this dish is very confusing and doesn't match up to the photo what so ever.. I mean, since when are sloppy Joe's healthy? And why are these made with chicken? And are those wraps instead of buns? Yup, these are my super delicious and healthy twist on your old fashioned sloppy Joe. My neighbor actually inspired me to make this dish. He yelled from his driveway, literally, "Lena! I just ate sloppy Joes!". I thought to myself, and out loud, I haven't had that since I was 7. So naturally, I walked into my house and cooked up this heavenly storm. I made it in the slow cooker which is just my bestest of all best friends lately. My husband and I ate this all day long and then some.
2 lbs chicken thighs or breast
2 pints cherry tomatoes
2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp six pepper spice
1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
1/4 cup fresh chopped basil
2 tbsp siracha
1 cup reduced-fat feta
Place all of the ingredients, except for the feta cheese, into the crock pot and let cook for 6 hours. Using a large fork, mix everything up really well so that the chicken shreds into little pieces. When you're ready to serve it, toss in the feta and mix it in with the chicken. Serve with whole wheat wraps of your choice. The wraps I used are called Flat Out.
I love that you added quinoa and lightened this up. Perfect healthier alternative.
