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.

– 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 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 too thick, add a splash of chicken broth or water to reach 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.

– Top with the other half of the bun. Optionally, add extra Parmesan cheese on top.

 

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 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.
