Cajun Chicken Sloppy Joes

Spicy and savory Cajun Chicken Sloppy Joes packed with juicy chicken, bold flavors, and fresh toppings all in a soft bun.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1 cup diced onions
  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 4 soft sandwich buns
  • Olive oil for sautéing
  • Fresh toppings (e.g., shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, mayonnaise)

Instructions

  1. Heat a splash of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and bell peppers. Sauté until the onions turn translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Increase the heat and add ground chicken into the pan. Break it apart and cook until browned, about 7-8 minutes.
  3. Stir in Cajun seasoning and cayenne pepper, blending well.
  4. Pour in the tomato sauce, stirring until well coated. Let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  5. Toast the buns in a separate pan if desired. Spoon the chicken mixture onto the bottom half of each bun, and top with your favorite toppings.
  6. Serve the sandwiches with the other half of the bun on top.

Notes

Prepare the filling a day in advance for convenience. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
