Ingredients

1 pound ground chicken
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup onion finely chopped
1/2 cup bell pepper finely chopped
1 teaspoon garlic minced
4 hamburger buns
Sliced green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
Add Vegetables: Stir in the chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add Sauce: Pour in the teriyaki sauce and stir to combine. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Toast the Buns: While the chicken mixture simmers, toast the hamburger buns in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown.
Assemble: Spoon the chicken teriyaki mixture onto the bottom half of each bun. Top with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Place the top half of the bun on each sandwich.
Serve: Enjoy the Chicken Teriyaki Sloppy Joes warm, with your favorite side dishes.
