Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Vegetables
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Dairy
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Seasonings
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Bread
- 4 hamburger buns
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
- Cook the ground chicken: Add the ground chicken to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Cook thoroughly, breaking it apart with a spatula, until no longer pink, about 7-10 minutes.
- Add seasoning and cream: Stir in 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning along with salt and pepper to taste. Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer, allowing the cream to thicken slightly, approximately 3-5 minutes.
- Melt the cheese: Gradually stir in 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, continuing to cook while stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is creamy and smooth.
- Assemble the sloppy joes: Toast the 4 hamburger buns lightly if desired. Spoon the chicken Alfredo mixture generously onto the bottom halves of the buns.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the chicken mixture for added color and freshness. Place the top halves of the buns on each and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk, but the sauce will be less rich.
- Adding a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes can give the dish a subtle spicy kick.
- Use gluten-free buns to make this recipe suitable for gluten-free diets.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
