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 made from heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, seasoned with Italian herbs, and served on toasted hamburger buns for a deliciously satisfying meal perfect for weeknight dinners.

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

  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk, but the sauce will be less rich.
  • Adding a splash of chicken broth can adjust the sauce consistency to your preference.
  • Ensure the ground chicken is cooked thoroughly to avoid any food safety issues.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best melting and flavor.
  • To make it Gluten Free, use gluten-free hamburger buns.
