Description

A delightful twist on the classic comfort food featuring a savory mixture of lean ground chicken, juicy corn, and zesty Cajun spices, topped with gooey cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground chicken
  • 15 oz canned corn, drained
  • 1/2 cup diced red onions
  • 10.5 oz condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 4 large hamburger buns
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  2. Add the ground chicken to a sauté pan over medium-high heat, breaking it up as it cooks.
  3. Once the chicken is cooked through (about 5-7 minutes), stir in the corn and red onions, cooking for an additional 3 minutes.
  4. Mix in the cream of chicken soup, Cajun seasoning, onion powder, salt, and pepper, then reduce heat to low.
  5. Incorporate the mayo, stirring until well blended, and let simmer on low.
  6. Lay the hamburger buns on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 4-5 minutes.
  7. Remove the buns once toasted, fill them with the chicken mixture, sprinkle cheese on top, and cap with the bun tops.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Consider adding sautéed bell peppers or a splash of hot sauce to customize the spice level. Serve with sides like coleslaw or potato wedges to enhance your meal.
