# Instructions:
01 -
Heat up the olive oil in a big pan on medium until it’s glossy. Toss in the onion and bell pepper, moving them around until soft and smelling amazing, about 3-4 minutes.
02 -
Throw in your garlic and quickly stir it for roughly a minute until its smell fills the kitchen. Don’t let it burn!
03 -
Drop the ground chicken into the pan. Break it apart using a spoon and cook until there’s no pink left, usually 5-7 minutes.
04 -
Add tomato sauce, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce into the skillet. Sprinkle over the Cajun seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let it all simmer for 10 minutes so the flavors can blend wonderfully.
05 -
While the filling cooks, toast the buns lightly until they have a bit of crispiness.
06 -
Spoon the warm chicken mix onto the bottom half of your buns. Top with pickles, shredded cheese, or coleslaw if you'd like. Put the other half of the bun on top and you're done.
# Notes:
01 -
Pick thick buns like kaiser rolls so they can hold the filling without getting soggy
