Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken Alfredo 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
For Serving
- 4 Hamburger Buns (toasted)
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground chicken. 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, reduce the heat to low. Stir in the Alfredo sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the cheese melts 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 balanced throughout the mixture.
- Toast the Buns: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the hamburger buns on a baking sheet and toast them for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Assemble the Sloppy Joes: Spoon the creamy chicken Alfredo mixture onto the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with the other half to complete each sandwich.
- Serve Warm: Serve immediately while warm. Optionally, pair with fries or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey for ground chicken for a different flavor.
- Using freshly grated Parmesan cheese enhances the flavor and texture.
- For a variation, try using provolone cheese instead of mozzarella.
- If you prefer, you can make your own Alfredo sauce for a fresher taste.
- To keep the buns warm and toasty longer, wrap them in foil after toasting.
