Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Dairy

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Seasonings and Others

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until they become soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Cook the Ground Chicken: Add the ground chicken to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink, roughly 6-8 minutes.
  3. Make the Alfredo Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, mixing well to create a creamy sauce. Continue to cook gently, allowing the cheese to melt and the sauce to thicken for about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Assemble the Sloppy Joes: Toast the hamburger buns lightly if desired. Spoon a generous amount of the creamy chicken Alfredo mixture onto the bottom half of each bun.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top for a burst of color and flavor. Cover with the top bun and serve immediately for a delicious and comforting meal.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, you can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or use a reduced-fat Parmesan.
  • If you prefer more heat, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
  • Make sure not to overcook the cream sauce to prevent it from separating.
  • These can be served with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
