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
Buns
- 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 the Cheese and Alfredo Sauce: 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 combined and balanced.
- 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 Sloppy Joes: Spoon the creamy chicken Alfredo mixture onto the bottom half of each toasted bun and top with the other half to form sandwiches.
- Serve: Serve immediately while warm, optionally accompanied by fries or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Notes
- Ground turkey can be used as a leaner alternative to chicken.
- Store-bought Alfredo sauce helps simplify the recipe, but homemade Alfredo sauce offers better flavor.
- For a twist, substitute mozzarella with provolone cheese.
- Toast buns in the oven for crispiness, or use a toaster or skillet if preferred.
- Leftover mixture can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, warm gently in a skillet or microwave until heated through.
