Equipment

  • 1 Large skillet or heavy-duty pan
  • 1 Sturdy spatula or wooden spoon
  • 1 Measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 Sharp knife (for vegetables)
  • 1 Meat thermometer

Ingredients
  

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups grated cheese cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack
  • 6 brioche or burger-style buns

Instructions
 

Cook the Chicken:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add diced onions and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent and fragrant (about 3 minutes).
  • Add the ground chicken, breaking it up as it cooks. Cook until browned and fully cooked through.

Make the Sauce:

  • Stir in ketchup, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar.
  • Let it simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.

Add Cheese:

  • Stir in the grated cheese of your choice, allowing it to melt and combine into the chicken mixture.

Assemble the Sandwiches:

  • Toast the buns to prevent sogginess.
  • Spoon the cheesy chicken mixture onto the buns and serve hot
