Cajun Chicken Sloppy Joes

A bold twist on the classic comfort food featuring ground chicken seasoned with savory Cajun spices, creamy cheddar cheese, and served on toasted brioche buns.

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

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Ground chicken
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 Brioche buns, toasted

Instructions

  1. Brown the chicken in a large skillet over medium heat until no longer pink.
  2. Add the Cajun seasoning and continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
  3. Make the cheese sauce by melting the butter in a separate saucepan over medium heat, then whisk in the flour.
  4. Thicken the sauce by gradually adding the milk and stirring constantly until it reaches desired thickness.
  5. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and mix until melted and smooth.
  6. Combine the chicken mixture into the cheese sauce, stirring well.
  7. Serve the mixture on toasted brioche buns immediately.

Notes

Use high-quality Cajun seasoning for the best flavor. Don’t rush the cheese sauce to ensure creaminess. Toasting the buns enhances flavor and texture.
