My kids often ask for chicken sloppy joes, and this version has a bonus of sweet pineapple. It is a perfect recipe to double for a potluck. Try topping the sandwiches with smoked Gouda cheese. —Nancy Heishman, Las Vegas, Nevada

Test Kitchen tips
  • Top with slaw for a restaurant-style sandwich.
  • The chicken mixture is more sweet than spicy. If your family likes more heat, add a jalapeno pepper.
