To make these sloppy joes, I started by dumping some ground chicken into a large saute pan over medium-high heat.

I crumbled the ground chicken well as it cooked.

I added some diced onions to the pan with the ground chicken while it was cooking.

I stirred the onions and ground chicken together well.

Once the ground chicken was fully cooked, I added some marinara sauce, basil pesto, salt and pepper to the pan.

I stirred until all of the ground chicken was coated in sauce. 

Then I reduced the heat to low and added some shredded Parmesan cheese to the pan.

I stirred until the Parmesan cheese was melted and then left the mixture to continue cooking over low heat while I prepared the buns.

I placed some brioche buns in a single layer on a baking sheet.

I spread the buns with garlic margarine.

Then I placed the baking sheet in the oven and toasted the buns for five minutes.

After five minutes I removed the toasted garlic buns from the oven.

I spoon the chicken sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom buns.

I sprinkled some shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken mixture.

I placed the top buns over the cheese.

Then the chicken sloppy joes were ready to serve.

This sloppy joe recipe is an easy family friendly recipe perfect for weeknights.
