Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Mixture

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For Serving

  • 4 hamburger buns
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Cook the Ground Chicken: Add the ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink and starts to brown slightly, about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Add the Cream and Seasonings: Pour in the heavy cream and sprinkle the Italian seasoning over the chicken mixture. Stir well to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Incorporate Parmesan and Season: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce thickens, coating the chicken evenly. Season with salt and pepper according to taste.
  5. Toast the Buns: Meanwhile, lightly toast the hamburger buns in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown for added texture.
  6. Assemble and Garnish: Spoon the creamy chicken Alfredo mixture generously onto the bottom halves of the buns. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top, then cover with the bun tops. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or milk, though the sauce will be less rich.
  • You can add sautéed mushrooms or spinach for additional flavor and nutrition.
  • Use gluten-free buns if you need to keep this recipe gluten-free.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator up to 3 days; reheat gently to avoid separating the cream sauce.
  • Adjust Parmesan cheese quantity to your taste; more cheese will yield a creamier, cheesier sauce.
