Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 jar (15 ounces) Alfredo sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 4 Sloppy Joe buns, split and toasted
  • Essential Tools

    • Large skillet
    • Wooden spoon or spatula
    • Toaster or additional skillet for toasting buns

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    Step 1: Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and ground chicken. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink, about 10-12 minutes. Use a spoon or spatula to break up the chicken into small pieces as it cooks. Once done, transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

    Step 2: Prepare the Alfredo Sauce

    In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter and minced garlic, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant. Then, pour in the heavy cream and Alfredo sauce. Stir until smooth, allowing the sauce to come together, and then mix in the Italian seasoning.

    Step 3: Add Chicken and Seasonings

    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Stir to coat the chicken thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

    Step 4: Toast the Buns

    While the chicken mixture is heating, toast the Sloppy Joe buns. Slice the buns in half and toast them lightly in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown.

    Step 5: Assemble the Sloppy Joes

    Spoon a generous amount of the chicken Alfredo mixture onto the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place the top half of the bun over the mixture, pressing lightly to help hold everything together.

    Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

    Serve the Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Joes immediately while warm. They’re great with a side of fries, potato wedges, or a fresh green salad.


    Tips for Perfect Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Joes

    • Toast the buns: Toasting helps the buns hold up to the creamy filling, preventing them from getting soggy.
    • Customize the flavor: Try adding extra Parmesan or mozzarella for even cheesier Sloppy Joes.
    • Add greens: For a little extra flavor and color, add fresh spinach or basil leaves before serving.
    • Suggested Side Dishes

      • Crispy French fries or potato wedges
      • Caesar salad for a fresh, crunchy side
      • Garlic bread for a double dose of that delicious Alfredo flavor

      Storage and Reheating

      • Refrigerator: Store leftover chicken Alfredo mixture in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
      • Reheating: Reheat the mixture on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of milk or cream to revive its creamy texture.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Can I use rotisserie chicken instead of ground chicken?
      Absolutely! Shred rotisserie chicken and mix it into the Alfredo sauce for an even quicker version.

      Is there a lighter option for the heavy cream?
      Yes, you can use half-and-half or milk to reduce the richness, but the sauce may be slightly thinner.

      What other toppings could I add?
      For extra flavor, top with grated Parmesan, fresh parsley, or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
