Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 1 pound Ground Chicken (can be substituted with ground turkey)
- 1 cup Alfredo Sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese (use provolone for variation)
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese (freshly grated preferred)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
To Serve
- 4 Hamburger Buns (toasted)
Instructions
- Cook the ground chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground chicken and sauté for about 7-10 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned and no longer pink.
- Add Alfredo sauce and cheeses: Once the chicken is cooked through, reduce the heat to low and stir in the Alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the cheese melts and the mixture becomes creamy.
- Season the mixture: Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste, stirring thoroughly to ensure the flavors are balanced throughout the mixture.
- Toast the buns: While the chicken mixture simmers, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and toast the hamburger buns on a baking sheet for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Spoon the creamy chicken Alfredo mixture onto the bottom half of each toasted bun, then cover with the top halves to complete your sloppy joes.
- Serve warm: Serve immediately while warm, optionally pairing with fries or a fresh salad for a full meal.
Notes
- Ground turkey can be used instead of chicken for a leaner alternative.
- Using freshly grated Parmesan cheese enhances the flavor and texture of the sauce.
- For a cheesier variation, substitute mozzarella with provolone cheese.
- To speed up prep, store-bought Alfredo sauce is convenient, but homemade sauce adds extra richness.
- Ensure buns are toasted well to avoid sogginess from the creamy filling.
