Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 1 pound Ground Chicken (can be substituted with ground turkey)
Sauce & Cheese
- 1 cup Alfredo Sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese (use provolone for variation)
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese (freshly grated preferred)
Seasoning
- 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, breaking it apart with a spatula until it is browned and no longer pink inside.
- Add Alfredo Sauce and Cheeses: Reduce heat to low and stir in the Alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cheeses melt and the mixture becomes creamy and well combined.
- Season the Mixture: Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. Stir thoroughly to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Toast the Buns: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the hamburger buns on a baking sheet. Toast them in the oven for 5-7 minutes or until they turn golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Assemble the Sloppy Joes: Spoon the creamy chicken Alfredo mixture onto the bottom half of each toasted bun, then cover with the top halves to complete your sandwiches.
- Serve: Serve the Creamy Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Joes immediately while warm. Optionally, pair them with fries or a fresh salad for a full meal.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey if you prefer a leaner meat option.
- Use provolone cheese instead of mozzarella for a different cheesy flavor profile.
- For a homemade Alfredo sauce, combine butter, heavy cream, garlic, and Parmesan cheese melted into a creamy sauce.
- To keep the dish lower in calories, use reduced-fat cheeses and lean ground chicken or turkey.
- Ensure the buns are toasted well to avoid sogginess from the creamy filling.
