Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 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. Then, 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 it 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 the sauce is too thick, add a splash of chicken broth or water to reach the 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 is included. Top with the other half of the bun. Optionally, add extra Parmesan cheese on top for added flavor.
  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 while warm.

Notes

  • For added nutrition, consider incorporating chopped bell peppers or spinach when sautéing the onions.
  • For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the Alfredo sauce.
  • Substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a low-fat cream alternative for a lighter version.
  • Experiment with different cheeses like mozzarella or cream cheese for a unique flavor.
