Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground chicken and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.
- Step 2: Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
- Step 3: Stir in the Cajun seasoning and cook for another minute to let the spices release their flavors.
- Step 4: Add the crushed tomatoes and Worcestershire sauce to the mixture. Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Step 5: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the Cajun chicken mixture on toasted hamburger buns for delicious sloppy joes. Enjoy!
Notes
- For optimal freshness, store any leftover Cajun chicken sloppy joes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- When reheating, warm the mixture on the stovetop over low heat for even heating, adding a splash of water or broth if it seems too thick.
- Serve your sloppy joes with a side of coleslaw for a refreshing crunch that complements the spicy flavors beautifully.
- For an extra kick, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or some diced jalapeños when cooking to elevate the Cajun flavor profile!
