Indulge in a creamy and savory twist on a classic favorite with these Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Joes. Ground chicken is cooked with onions and garlic, then enveloped in a rich Alfredo sauce and served on toasted hamburger buns for a deliciously satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Mixture

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Alfredo Sauce

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Assembly

  • 4 hamburger buns
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Chicken Mixture: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent and fragrant. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Add the ground chicken, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until no longer pink and fully cooked through, stirring occasionally.
  2. Making the Alfredo Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine with the chicken and onion mixture. Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until melted and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir until well combined. If too thick, add a splash of chicken broth or water to reach desired consistency.
  3. Assembling the Sloppy Joes: Prepare the hamburger buns by toasting them lightly on a skillet or in a toaster. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken Alfredo mixture onto the bottom half of each bun, ensuring a good amount of sauce and chicken. Top with the other half of the bun. Optionally, add extra Parmesan cheese on top.
  4. Serving Suggestions: Place the assembled Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Joes on a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve with crispy fries, a fresh salad, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal. Enjoy warm!

Notes

  • You can adjust the consistency of the Alfredo sauce by adding chicken broth or water if it becomes too thick.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for best results and a richer taste.
  • To keep the buns from getting soggy, toast them lightly before adding the sauce mixture.
  • This dish pairs well with a side of steamed broccoli or a crisp green salad for a balanced meal.
