Description
Creamy, cheesy Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Joes bring together tender shredded chicken and rich Alfredo sauce, all served in a toasted bun for the ultimate comfort food twist.
Ingredients
- Cooked Shredded Chicken: 3 cups
- Butter: 2 tablespoons
- Garlic: 3 cloves, minced
- Heavy Cream: 1 cup
- Parmesan Cheese: 1 cup, freshly grated
- Cream Cheese: 2 tablespoons
- Salt: ½ teaspoon
- Black Pepper: ¼ teaspoon
- Nutmeg (optional): A pinch
- Buns: 6 brioche or hamburger buns
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Warm a large skillet over medium heat. If you’re toasting buns, preheat your oven to 350°F or set a toaster to medium.
- Combine Ingredients: Melt butter in the skillet, then add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the cream and cream cheese, whisking until smooth.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Once the sauce starts to simmer, sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Stir gently until cheese melts and sauce thickens slightly, about 3–4 minutes.
- Assemble the Dish: Fold the shredded chicken into the sauce, coating it thoroughly. Simmer for another 3–5 minutes until heated through.
- Cook to Perfection: Let the mixture bubble gently, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to a hearty, spoonable consistency.
- Finishing Touches: Lightly toast the buns in the oven or toaster. Scoop generous portions of the creamy chicken mixture onto each bun bottom.
- Serve and Enjoy: Top with the other bun halves, plate up with a sprinkle of extra Parmesan if desired, and serve warm!
Notes
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for best results.
- Toast buns for better texture and less sogginess.
- Filling can be made ahead and reheated easily.
- Stir in baby spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for variety.
