Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Ground Chicken (or ground turkey for gluten-free option)
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun Spice Blend
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (high-quality for best flavor)
  • 1 medium Onion (yellow or white varieties)
  • 1 medium Bell Pepper (any color)
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup Tomato Sauce (no substitutes recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons Tomato Paste (essential for consistency)

  • 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 cup Chicken Broth (opt for low-sodium)
  • 4 Buns (hearty rolls that hold the filling)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine your Cajun spice blend, ensuring it’s well-mixed for even distribution.

  • Serve with crispy coleslaw for added crunch.
  • Use gluten-free buns for a gluten-free option.
