Buffalo Chicken Sloppy Joes

Okay, so truth be told, I haven't been cooking too much lately.  What it looks like around my house is more like I nap on the couch and my husband makes dinner (which he's getting pretty good at).  What he doesn't know is that this is all part of my secret training for when baby arrives!

So, no cravings really but I do love spicy food more than normal, and ice cream.

So here it is, a classic American family favorite with spice!

Buffalo Chicken Sloppy Joes

1 lb. ground chicken
2 tbs. olive oil
2 tbs. flour
2/3 cup tomato sauce or ketchup
2 tbs. brown sugar
1 tbs. Worcestershire sauce
1 tbs. red wine vinegar
1/2 chicken stock
1/4-1/3 cup Texas Pete Hot Sauce or Frank's Red Hot Sauce (you decide the amount based on the amount of spice you want)
2 stalks celery, diced

1.) Brown chicken in 2 tbs. olive oil in a large deep skillet on medium heat.
2.) While chicken is browning, mix tomato sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire, vinegar, and chicken stock in a bowl.
3.) When chicken is browned (do not drain), reduce heat to low, add 2 tbs. flour to pan.  This will help the sauce thicken and to absorb the oil.  Allow to cook 1 minute.
4.) Add sauce mixture and cook until thicken.
5.) Add celery just before serving so it stays crunchy.

Serve on warm bulky rolls.  My husband and I add a little bleu cheese too, fresh crumbled or dressing...whichever you prefer!
