Ingredients
Scale
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding shredded mozzarella cheese to the sauce, or topping the Sloppy Joes with a sprinkle of Parmesan before serving.
