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

  1. Step 1: 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.
  2. Step 2: 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.
  3. Step 3: Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste, stirring thoroughly to ensure the flavors are well balanced.
  4. Step 4: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and toast the hamburger buns for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Step 5: Spoon the Chicken Alfredo mixture onto the bottom half of each toasted bun and top with the other half to assemble the sandwiches.
  6. Step 6: Serve immediately while warm, optionally accompanied by fries or a fresh salad.

Tips & Variations

  • For a different flavor, substitute mozzarella with provolone cheese.
  • Use ground turkey instead of chicken for a leaner option.
  • Add sautéed mushrooms or spinach to the mixture for extra veggies and flavor.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, mix in a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.

Storage

Store leftover Chicken Alfredo mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat or in the microwave, stirring occasionally to maintain creaminess. It’s best to toast buns fresh before serving leftovers.

How to Serve

A soft, lightly browned sandwich bun forms the base and top layers of this dish, enclosing a thick, creamy filling made of crumbly sausage covered in rich, white cream sauce. The sauce is smooth and glossy, spreading evenly over the sausage bits and spilling out from between the bun layers. The sandwich sits on a white plate with a subtle thin line along the edge, set on a white marbled surface. In the blurred background, green leaves and a red tomato add hints of color.
