Recipe Instructions:
-
Prepare Chicken: Trim any excess fat from the chicken breast halves. Cut the chicken into small enough pieces to fit into your food processor. For easier cutting, partially freeze the chicken breasts.
-
-
Cook Chicken: Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). Place the chicken on a broiler pan to allow fat to drain while cooking. Cook the chicken for about an hour or until done.
-
Process Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, chop it up into smaller pieces using a chopper or food processor until you achieve your desired consistency.
-
Prepare Sauce: In a medium to large saucepan, heat the ground chicken on low heat. Add the ketchup, mustard, barbecue sauce, salsa, Tabasco sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, fresh garlic, onion, oregano, and a small amount of salt. Adjust the amount of each sauce according to your taste preferences.
-
Simmer: Gently stir all the ingredients together until well combined. Cover the saucepan and simmer the mixture very lightly for about an hour, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Adjust the consistency of the sauce by adding more sauce if it’s too thick or allowing moisture to evaporate if it’s too thin.
-
Serve: Once ready, serve the Chicken Joe mixture on buns, bread, or tortilla chips. For the best flavor, refrigerate the cooked mixture overnight and reheat it the next day. This allows all the spices to blend together, enhancing the overall taste.
Recipe Tips:
- Experiment with different sauces to customize the flavor according to your preferences.
- For a spicier kick, add more Tabasco sauce or other hot sauces.
- Serve with your favorite side dishes like coleslaw or potato salad for a complete meal.
- This recipe is great for meal prep and can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days.
- Adjust the seasoning according to your taste, adding more or less garlic, onion, or spices as desired.
