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)
Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Buns
- 4 hamburger buns (toasted)
Instructions
- Cook the 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 throughout.
- Add Cheeses and Sauce: Once the chicken is fully cooked, reduce the heat to low and stir in the Alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes until the cheeses melt completely and the mixture becomes creamy and well combined.
- Season the Mixture: Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste, stirring thoroughly to ensure the flavors are balanced and evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Toast the Buns: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the hamburger buns in the oven and toast them for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Spoon generous portions of the creamy Chicken Alfredo mixture onto the bottom halves of the toasted buns, then place the top halves over to complete each sandwich.
- Serve Warm: Serve the assembled sloppy joes immediately while warm. Optionally, pair them with crispy fries or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
Notes
- You can substitute ground chicken with ground turkey for a similar flavor.
- Using freshly grated Parmesan cheese enhances the flavor compared to pre-grated options.
- Provolone cheese can be used instead of mozzarella for a slightly different taste and texture.
- If you prefer a lower sodium meal, adjust the amount of salt or use a low-sodium Alfredo sauce.
- Leftover filling can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated on the stovetop.
- For a spicier twist, add crushed red pepper flakes or hot sauce to the mixture before assembling.
