Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes until shimmering. Add one finely chopped small onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
  2. Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant, ensuring you don’t let the garlic burn.
  3. Then, add one pound of ground chicken, breaking it up with a spatula and cooking for 5-7 minutes or until no longer pink.
  4. Lower the heat to medium-low and pour in 1 cup of heavy cream, stirring gently to combine with the chicken mixture.
  5. Gradually mix in 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously for about 2-3 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is creamy.
  6. Season the sauce with 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. If you prefer a thinner sauce, feel free to add a splash of chicken broth or water.
  7. While your sauce is thickening, lightly toast your hamburger buns in a separate skillet or toaster for about 2-3 minutes until golden.
  8. Once toasted, take generous spoonfuls of the creamy chicken Alfredo mixture and pile it onto each bun, allowing the sauce to spill over the edges.
  9. For an extra touch, sprinkle some additional Parmesan cheese on top of the chicken mixture.
  10. To finish, garnish your Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Joes with freshly chopped parsley and serve them warm alongside sides like crispy sweet potato fries.
