- Add the chicken and cook, breaking it up as you go. Give it 5 minutes to change color, then sprinkle over the Cajun seasoning and minced garlic.
- Cook for a minute, but don't allow the garlic to change color.
- Add the tomatoes, brown sugar, hot sauce, and cream, mix well, then reduce the heat to low.

- Taste your mixture and add the salt to taste.
- Toast your rolls and serve.
Notes
1. I use my homemade cajun blend but use one your family loves. 2. Depending on your cajun seasoning, you may need more or less salt. Taste your mixture before adding salt.
