Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced

- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
- Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onions and bell peppers, cooking until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground chicken to the skillet. Cook it until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and Cajun seasoning, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant. This step infuses the chicken with all the vibrant flavors of Cajun cuisine.
- Pour in the tomato sauce and Worcestershire sauce, mixing well. Allow this mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes so that the flavors meld together beautifully. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Scoop the mixture onto hamburger buns, and if desired, add your favorite toppings like cheese, green onions, or pickles. Enjoy your cozy meal!
