made these last night and they were great! LOVED the sweet and heat together! I did season my chicken with cumin, garlic, pepper, chili powder before cooking to add a bit more flavor. Will definitely make again! I topped the sandwiches with a slaw mixture that I had leftover from carnitas the night before, worked out great! <\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}}]},"video":{"data":{"status":204},"message":"No shortcode found in recipe"},"rms_legacy_id":"215568","romance_copy_dek":"My kids often ask for chicken sloppy joes, and this version has a bonus of sweet pineapple.
