Savor a creamy, flavorful twist on classic Sloppy Joes with this Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Joes recipe. Ground chicken cooked with onions and garlic is combined with a rich Alfredo sauce, seasoned with Italian herbs and Parmesan cheese, then served on toasted hamburger buns for a comforting and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Mixture

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Alfredo Sauce

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Assembly

  • 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. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent and fragrant. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Add the ground chicken, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon and cook for 5-7 minutes until fully cooked and no longer pink, stirring occasionally.
  2. Making the Alfredo Sauce: Reduce heat to low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine with the chicken and onions. 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 well and if the sauce is too thick, add a splash of chicken broth or water to adjust the consistency.
  3. Assembling the Sloppy Joes: Lightly toast the hamburger buns 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 balance of chicken and creamy sauce. 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 warm with sides such as crispy fries, a fresh salad, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.

Notes

  • To boost nutrition, add chopped bell peppers or spinach when sautéing the onions.
  • For a spicy variation, include a pinch of red pepper flakes in the Alfredo sauce.
  • Substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or low-fat cream alternatives for a lighter dish.
  • Try different cheeses like mozzarella or cream cheese for unique flavor profiles.
