Description

A delightful twist on classic sloppy joes infused with zesty Cajun flavors, perfect for busy weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced (any color)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned)
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • Olive oil for sautéing


Instructions

  1. Heat a splash of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
  3. Increase the heat slightly and add the ground chicken. Cook until the chicken is browned and fully cooked through.
  4. Stir in the Cajun seasoning, diced tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  5. Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes.
  6. Serve generous portions of the chicken mixture on toasted hamburger buns.

Notes

Consider toasting the hamburger buns for added crunch and pairing with sweet potato fries or coleslaw.
