Biggest Loser Sexy Joes

Sexy Joes!


I am a big fan of the Biggest Loser & had try out this recipe! I'm not sure if I've ever had a sloppy joe, but this was delicious!!

Ingredients:
1 pound extra-lean ground chicken
1 tablespoon white vinegar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
11/2 teaspoons honey
1/2 teaspoon hot-pepper sauce
2/3 cup chopped yellow onion
1/3 cup chopped green bell pepper
3/4 cup low-sodium tomato sauce
3/4 cup chili sauce
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
4 whole-grain or whole-wheat hamburger buns



















Mist a medium nonstick skillet with olive oil spray and set it
over medium-high heat. Add the chicken. Cook, stirring with
a wooden spoon, breaking into large chunks, for 4 to 6
minutes, or until no longer pink. Meanwhile, in a small bowl,
combine the vinegar, Worcestershire, honey, and hot-pepper
sauce. Whisk to blend. Set aside.

Drain off any liquid that has accumulated in the pan.
Add the onion, bell pepper, tomato sauce, chili sauce,
chili powder, and the reserved vinegar mixture to the
pan. Stir to blend. Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce
the heat so mixture simmers. Cook for 20 minutes, or
until the mixture is thickened. Spoon the mixture equally
onto the opened buns.Serve immediately.
