Slow Cooked Chicken Sloppy Joes

Slow Cooked Chicken Sloppy Joes are a fun twist on a classic recipe.

I was not sure what to call these sandwiches. They are basically a shredded chicken sandwich, but I used all the flavors of sloppy Joes. I actually took one of my favorite sloppy joe recipes and used it for chicken. It worked great!

We love sloppy Joes and we love chicken sandwiches. This is a fun way to combine the two.

This is one of those meals that my family will be eating often.

It is also one of those recipes that I know will freeze great. I did not have any leftovers of this to freeze because we ate them for lunch the next day, but next time I am going to be sure to make extra to freeze.

My husband and son ate this on a hamburger bun. My girls ate it on gluten free bread. I ate it without bread or a bun. I just piled it on my plate and it was great. So this is one of those recipes that is easy to adapt to however you need it.

I think it would also be great over baked potatoes. We might try that next time.

And yes those are frozen store bought french fries. I love homemade fries. I used to make them all the time, but over the last few months frozen fries have been a go to side dish for me.

My kids love them. They are easy to make and don’t take any thought to put together. Sometimes you just need a few premade things like that in the freezer. And I will admit that I love them. Like I could probably eat them everyday I love them so much. Which is another reason I almost always have some on hand. Just keeping it real for you. 🙂
