3-Add 2 cloves minced garlic and cook for another minute until it smells amazing don’t let it burn, or you’ll regret it!

4-Stir in 1 pound ground chicken, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until it’s no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.

5-Mix in 1/2 cup tomato sauce and 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning, then lower the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes so the flavors blend.
