Ingredients
- 1 Lb Ground Chicken
- 1 1/2 Cup Marinara (or brand of your choice)
- 1 Cup White Onion – Diced
- 2 Tbs Tomato Paste
- 1/4 Cup Parmesan – Grated
- 1 Tbs Garlic – Minced
- 1 Tbs Italian Seasoning
- 2 Tbs Fresh Basil – Chopped
- 1/2 Tsp Salt
- 1/2 Tsp Ground Black Pepper
- 6 Brioche Buns
- Garlic Butter
- Mozzarella – Shredded
Directions
- Pre-heat your oven to high broil.
- In a medium sauté pan, heat 1 Tbs of oil over medium heat.
- Place the chicken in the sauté pan, add the italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- While the chicken is cooking, break it into small pieces, add the onions and garlic, and cook through, about 7 to 10 minutes.
- Add the tomato paste and mix, cooking for another 2 to 3 minutes.
- Stir in the marinara, fresh basil, and parmesan. Bring to a simmer for about 2 to 4 minutes.
- While the mixture simmers, top both sides of the brioche buns with a spread of garlic butter and place them butter side up on an aluminum foil lined baking pan.
- Place in the oven on broil about 6 inches below the broiler, around the second tallest oven rack and toast the buns, about 2 to 4 minutes.
- Keep an eye on the buns to ensure they do not burn.
- Assemble your Sloppy Gia (think sloppy joe chicken parmesan style) by placing the cooked chicken mixture on the bottom of the bun, top with shredded mozzarella, and enjoy!
