Step-by-Step Instructions for Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Joes
  1. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once shimmering, add 1 small finely chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent. Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Add 1 pound of ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Continue stirring for about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and pour in 1 cup of heavy cream, stirring to combine it with the cooked chicken. Gradually add in 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until it melts.
  4. Gently season your Chicken Alfredo mixture with 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste. Keep stirring to ensure all flavors meld beautifully together.
  5. While the sauce simmers, lightly toast 4 hamburger buns in a skillet or under the broiler for about 2 minutes until golden. Fill the bottom half of each bun generously with the creamy chicken Alfredo mixture.
  6. Finely chop some fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the tops of the Sloppy Joes before serving them warm.
