Ingredients

Units Scale

Chicken Mixture

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Assembly

  • 4 hamburger buns, toasted
  • Fresh basil, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground chicken and finely chopped onion together until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink, and the onion becomes translucent. This usually takes about 6-8 minutes and creates a flavorful base for the dish.
  2. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. The garlic will add depth to the savory filling without overpowering it.
  3. Simmer with Alfredo Sauce: Pour in the Alfredo sauce and gently stir to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is heated through and slightly thickened, coating the chicken mixture deliciously.
  4. Melt in Cheeses: Add the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheeses to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cheeses melt completely and integrate smoothly into the sauce. Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  5. Assemble and Serve: Spoon the creamy chicken Alfredo mixture generously onto each toasted hamburger bun. Garnish with freshly chopped basil for a burst of color and herbal aroma. Serve the sloppy joes immediately while warm and enjoy this comforting, cheesy meal.

Notes

  • Use store-bought Alfredo sauce for convenience or homemade for richer flavor.
  • To make it spicier, add red pepper flakes while cooking the garlic.
  • For a lower-fat option, use part-skim mozzarella and a light Alfredo sauce.
  • Ensure hamburger buns are well toasted to prevent sogginess from the sauce.
  • Fresh basil can be substituted with parsley if preferred.
