Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 medium bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 pieces hamburger buns Optional toppings: pickles, coleslaw, or cheese

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté until softened.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  4. Add the ground chicken and cook until no longer pink, breaking it up with a spoon.
  5. Stir in the Cajun seasoning, diced tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
  6. Simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  7. Serve the mixture on hamburger buns and add any optional toppings.

Notes

Tip: Avoid soggy buns by toasting them lightly before serving. Make a big batch in advance and reheat for easy weeknight dinners. For a vegan variation, use plant-based ground meat and skip the Worcestershire sauce.
