1 lb lean ground chicken
4 large hamburger buns
1 cup shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend
15 oz canned corn, drained
½ cup diced red onions
10.5 oz condensed cream of chicken soup
2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
1 tbsp onion powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ cup mayo
1️⃣ Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) for toasting the buns.
2️⃣ Cook the chicken: In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, cook the ground chicken until it’s well crumbled and fully cooked.
3️⃣ Add veggies: Stir in the canned corn and diced red onions. Cook for about 3 minutes until the onions soften slightly.
4️⃣ Make it creamy: Mix in the condensed cream of chicken soup, Cajun seasoning, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for a couple of minutes.
5️⃣ Add mayo: Stir in the mayo until it’s well combined with the rest of the mixture. This adds an extra layer of creaminess.
6️⃣ Toast the buns: Place the hamburger buns on a baking sheet in a single layer and toast in the oven until lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes.
7️⃣ Assemble: Remove the buns from the oven and spoon the Cajun chicken mixture onto the bottom buns.
8️⃣ Top with cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend over the chicken mixture. Place the top buns on and serve hot.
🔸 Adjust the Cajun seasoning to your spice preference—add more for extra heat!
🔸 Swap out the mayo for Greek yogurt if you want a lighter version.
🔸 Serve with a side of coleslaw or crispy fries for a complete meal.
