Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Prepare rice according to package directions.

    Step 2

    While the rice is cooking, begin making the sloppy joes.

    Step 3

    In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat and add the chicken. Stir to separate the meat and then add the onions, peppers, garlic, salt and pepper. Continue cooking until the meat is cooked and the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.

    Step 6

    Serve between whole-wheat buns.
