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

For Serving

  • 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. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent and fragrant. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Next, add the ground chicken, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink, stirring occasionally.
  2. Making the Alfredo Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine with the cooked chicken and onions. Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of chicken broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
  3. Assembling the Sloppy Joes: Lightly toast the hamburger buns 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 balance of sauce and chicken. Top with the other half of the bun. Optionally, sprinkle extra Parmesan cheese on top for added flavor.
  4. Serving Suggestions: Arrange the assembled Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Joes on a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm with sides like crispy fries, a fresh green salad, or steamed vegetables to complete the meal.

Notes

  • For added nutrition and color, include chopped bell peppers or fresh spinach when sautéing the onions.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the Alfredo sauce for a spicy kick.
  • Substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a low-fat cream alternative for a lighter sauce.
  • Try different cheeses such as mozzarella or cream cheese to vary the flavor of the Alfredo sauce.
