A vibrant Cajun twist on traditional Sloppy Joes, featuring tender ground chicken, sautéed peppers, and a tangy sauce served on warm burger buns.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Burger buns

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground chicken and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Next, toss in the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.
  3. Stir in the Cajun seasoning, tomato sauce, and Worcestershire sauce until fully combined.

Notes

For a leaner option, substitute ground chicken with turkey or use plant-based ground meat for a vegetarian twist. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days or frozen for up to three months.
