1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup

1/2 teaspoon salt

11 -
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (about 56 grams)

12 -
4 sturdy hamburger buns
# Steps to Make This:
01 -
Arrange hamburger buns in a single layer on a baking sheet, ready for toasting just before serving to maintain crispness.
02 -
Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken, breaking it up and cooking until no pink remains and some browning appears, about 7-8 minutes.
03 -
Add drained corn and diced red onions to the chicken. Stir and cook for 3 minutes until onions are translucent and corn is lightly toasted.
04 -
Reduce heat to low. Stir in cream of chicken soup, Cajun seasoning, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a thick, creamy sauce coating the mixture.
05 -
Remove from heat or keep on very low heat. Stir in mayonnaise gently until combined to achieve a silky texture without boiling.
06 -
Place buns in a preheated oven at 400°F (204°C) for 4-5 minutes until lightly browned and crisp.
07 -
Spoon warm chicken mixture onto bottom buns. Top each with shredded mozzarella and cheddar blend. Cover with top buns and serve immediately to enjoy melted cheese.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Toast buns just before assembling to maintain optimal texture and prevent sogginess.
