Reduce heat to medium and add ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, tomato paste, and chili powder. Stir thoroughly to evenly coat chicken and vegetables.
03 -
Pour in water and stir to blend all ingredients uniformly.
04 -
Lower heat to low and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until flavors meld and sauce thickens slightly.

While the mixture simmers, toast brioche buns in the oven or on a griddle with butter until lightly golden.
06 -
Spoon the chicken mixture onto the bottom halves of toasted buns, then cover with the top halves and serve immediately.
# Helpful Hints:

Use lean ground chicken to reduce fat content. Adjust chili powder to personal heat preference. Pair with a side salad or coleslaw for a balanced meal.
