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: Reduce the 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 balance the flavors.
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 with fries or a fresh salad.

Tips & Variations

• For a cheesier touch, add extra shredded mozzarella on top before assembling the sandwich.
• Substitute ground turkey for a leaner option without sacrificing flavor.
• Use provolone cheese instead of mozzarella for a slightly different, smoky taste.
• Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you prefer a little heat in your sloppy joes.

Storage

Store any leftover chicken Alfredo mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat or in the microwave until warmed through. Avoid storing assembled sandwiches as the buns may become soggy.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I make the Alfredo sauce from scratch?

Yes, homemade Alfredo sauce made with butter, cream, and Parmesan cheese works wonderfully and can elevate the flavor even more. However, store-bought sauces are a convenient and tasty alternative.

Is this recipe suitable for freezing?

The chicken Alfredo mixture freezes well. Portion it out into freezer-safe containers and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. It’s best to assemble sandwiches fresh to avoid soggy buns.

• For a different cheese profile, substitute mozzarella with provolone.
