Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the ground chicken and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks, about 5-6 minutes.

Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced bell pepper, onion, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, approximately 3-4 minutes.

Season the Mixture: Stir in the Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, ensuring the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated.

Simmer with Broth: Pour in the chicken broth and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing it to slightly thicken.

Add Cream and Cheese: Stir in the heavy cream until the mixture is smooth. Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and well combined.

Assemble the Sandwiches: Lightly toast the hamburger buns if desired. Spoon the Cajun chicken mixture onto the bottom half of each bun, then top with the other half.
