Ingredients for Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Joes

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup Alfredo sauce
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 4 hamburger buns, toasted
• Fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)

How to Make Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Joes

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground chicken and chopped onion. Cook, breaking up the meat, until the chicken is no longer pink and the onion is translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Pour in the Alfredo sauce and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.

Stir in the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and the mixture is creamy. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.

Spoon the creamy Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Joes mixture onto the toasted hamburger buns. Garnish with fresh chopped basil and serve immediately.

Tips for Perfecting Your Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Joes

For a perfectly balanced Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Joes dish, consider these expert tips:

• Adjust Flavors: If the mixture seems too rich or creamy, add a splash of water or broth to thin it out. Conversely, if you’d like a more pronounced Alfredo flavor, stir in an extra dollop of sauce.
• Make-Ahead and Reheating: The Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Joes can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. When ready to serve, simply reheat the mixture in a skillet or the microwave until heated through.
• Add-Ins and Variations: Feel free to get creative with your Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Joes! Try adding sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor and texture.
• Serving Suggestions: Pair your Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Joes with a side of garlic bread, roasted vegetables, or a fresh garden salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
