Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Dairy

  • 1 lb lean ground chicken
  • 10.5 oz condensed cream of chicken soup
  • ½ cup mayo
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend

Vegetables

  • 15 oz canned corn, drained
  • ½ cup diced red onions

Spices and Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Others

  • 4 large hamburger buns

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and cook chicken: Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). In a sauté pan over medium heat, cook the ground chicken thoroughly until no longer pink, breaking it up as it cooks.
  2. Add vegetables and seasonings: Stir in the drained canned corn, diced red onions, condensed cream of chicken soup, Cajun seasoning, onion powder, salt, and pepper into the pan. Mix well and cook for about 3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  3. Combine ingredients: Reduce the heat to low, add the mayonnaise, and stir until everything is thoroughly combined and heated through, creating a creamy filling.
  4. Toast buns: Place the hamburger buns in the preheated oven and toast them for approximately 4-5 minutes until they are slightly crispy and warm.
  5. Assemble sandwiches: Spoon the Cajun chicken mixture generously onto the bottom half of each toasted bun. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend over the top, then cover with the top buns. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Cajun Chicken Sloppy Joes!

Notes

  • For extra spice, add more Cajun seasoning or a dash of hot sauce.
  • You can substitute the lean ground chicken with ground turkey or lean ground beef if desired.
  • To make it lower fat, consider using low-fat mayo and reduced-fat cheese.
  • Serve with a side of coleslaw or a simple green salad for a balanced meal.
  • Butter the buns lightly before toasting for added flavor and crunch.
