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

1. Pre-heat your oven to high broil.
2. In a medium sauté pan, heat 1 Tbs of oil over medium heat.
3. Place the chicken in the sauté pan, add the italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
4. While the chicken is cooking, break it into small pieces, add the onions and garlic, and cook through, about 7 to 10 minutes.
5. Add the tomato paste and mix, cooking for another 2 to 3 minutes.
6. Stir in the marinara, fresh basil, and parmesan. Bring to a simmer for about 2 to 4 minutes.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Keep an eye on the buns to ensure they do not burn.
10. 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!
