Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Dairy
- 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)
Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Bread
- 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. Break it apart with a spatula while cooking until it is browned and no longer pink in the center.
- Add Alfredo Sauce and Cheeses: Once the chicken is cooked, reduce the heat to low. Stir in the Alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Continue cooking for 3-5 minutes until the cheeses melt completely and the mixture becomes creamy and well combined.
- Season the Mixture: Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. Stir thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed throughout the creamy chicken mixture.
- Toast the Buns: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the hamburger buns on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and lightly crisped.
- Assemble the Sloppy Joes: Spoon the warm chicken Alfredo mixture onto the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with the sandwich top halves to complete the assembly.
- Serve: Serve your Creamy Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Joes immediately while warm. They pair wonderfully with fries or a fresh side salad for a complete meal.
Notes
- You can substitute ground chicken with ground turkey for a slightly different flavor and texture.
- For a variation in cheese flavor, try using provolone instead of mozzarella.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper when seasoning.
- Homemade Alfredo sauce will elevate the flavor but store-bought sauce works perfectly for convenience.
- Make sure to toast the buns well to prevent sogginess from the creamy filling.
