Ingredients
- 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

Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground chicken until fully browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon (about 5–7 minutes).
- Stir in the diced red onions and canned corn, sautéing for about 2–3 minutes until the onions are soft and fragrant.
- Add the condensed cream of chicken soup, Cajun seasoning, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Mix well, allowing the mixture to warm through (about 3–5 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low and stir in the mayonnaise until creamy and well-combined.
- Spoon the Cajun chicken mixture onto the bottom halves of the hamburger buns. Top with a generous handful of shredded cheese.
- Place the assembled Sloppy Joes under the broiler for 2–3 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven, top with the other half of the bun, and serve warm with your favorite sides.
