Better the Next Day
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this last night for dinner and it was a little runny for me too. I used the right amount of chicken, but I guess it... didn't absorb enough liquid. I ate leftovers for lunch today and it was awesome! I don't like blue cheese, so I spread some thick ranch dip on both sides of the bun and it was yummy! I will make this receipe again, but probably on a Sunday night for lunch for the week. Read more

Should get 10 stars!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was easy and delicious! Also very versatile. Made the mashed with them just like Rach and they were excellent as... well. All the elements like she said were there without the guilt. I am taking the leftovers and making a shepards pie with them. Must try this recipe will not be disappointed and it was fast and easy for being soooo tasty. You did it again Rachael.Read more

Yummy twist
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

on Sloppy Joes! I've made this with ground chicken and another time with ground turkey but I've also made this recipe with... shredded chicken (poached) and it was just as good. I want to experiment with this recipe and make a wrap, probably with the pulled chicken version and some bleu cheese dressing. Mmmmmmmmm!Read more

Great Twist to a Favorite
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Delicious recipe, simmered awhile longer to thicken. Served on moist whole grain buns. I used the 1/4 cup hot sauce for a... milder kids version and my husband and I sprinkled cayenne pepper on top of our sandwiches for that added kick, it was delicious! We ate this with Rachel's mashed potato skin recipe, yummmm! Read more

Spicy Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I will agree with others that this was a little soupy... but I turned the heat up high and reduced the sauce a lot. Instead... of blue cheese, I used crumbled feta and omitted the pickles. I also used almost 1/2 cup of hot sauce because my husband I like it spicy. This will be a regular part of my meal planning as a great way to liven up ground turkey. Yum!Read more
