Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 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)
- 4 Hamburger Buns (toasted)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Instructions
- Cook the 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 the Alfredo and cheeses: Once cooked, reduce heat to low and stir in the Alfredo sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. Cook for another 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 well balanced throughout the creamy chicken mixture.
- Toast the buns: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and toast the hamburger buns for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Spoon the warm Chicken Alfredo mixture onto the bottom half of each toasted bun, then place the top half on to complete the sandwich.
- Serve: Serve the creamy Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Joes immediately while warm, optionally accompanied by fries or a fresh salad for a complete comfort food meal.
Notes
- Substitute ground turkey for chicken if preferred or for a leaner option.
- Use homemade Alfredo sauce for a fresher taste or store-bought for convenience.
- Try provolone cheese instead of mozzarella for a different flavor profile.
- Ensure buns are toasted to prevent them from becoming soggy when adding the creamy sauce.
- Serve with a side of vegetables or a light salad to balance the richness of the dish.
