Instructions
Creating Cajun Chicken Sloppy Joes with Creamy Cheese Sauce is easy when you follow these simple steps:
1. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
2. Add Vegetables: Stir in the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
3. Season: Sprinkle in the Cajun seasoning, stirring well to ensure the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated.
4. Make the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and Dijon mustard. Mix thoroughly and let it simmer for about 10 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
5. Prepare the Cheese Sauce: Lower the heat and add the cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese to the skillet. Stir until the cheese melts and forms a creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Toast the Buns: While the sauce is thickening, toast the hamburger buns in a separate pan or under the broiler until golden brown.
7. Assemble: Spoon the Cajun chicken mixture onto the toasted buns. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
