Ingredients
Scale
- 4–6 hamburger buns, toasted
- 1 ½ cups (12 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup (4 fl oz) heavy cream
- ½ cup (4 fl oz) chicken broth
- 1 pound (454 g) ground chicken
- ⅓ cup (1.5 oz) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon (1.25 ml) salt
- ¼ teaspoon (1.25 ml) black pepper
- Optional garnish: chopped parsley
Instructions
- Skillet Preparation: Heat a large skillet over medium flame, coating the surface with a thin layer of olive oil for optimal cooking.
- Protein Transformation: Add ground chicken to the heated pan, breaking down the meat with a spatula until it loses its pink hue and develops a uniform, light coloration.
- Aromatic Infusion: Fold in finely chopped onions and minced garlic, allowing them to meld and release their fragrant essence while softening in the sizzling environment.
- Seasoning Symphony: Sprinkle a blend of Italian seasoning, salt, and freshly ground black pepper across the skillet, stirring gently to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
- Final Culinary Refinement: Continue cooking the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the chicken reaches a golden-brown finish and the vegetables become translucent and tender, creating a rich, flavorful base for the Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Joes.
Notes
- Meat Selection Matters: Choose fresh, lean ground chicken with minimal fat content for a healthier and less greasy Alfredo sloppy joe experience.
- Seasoning Balance: Adjust Italian seasoning and salt proportions gradually, tasting as you cook to prevent over-salting and ensure a perfectly balanced flavor profile.
- Onion Texture Technique: Dice onions uniformly and small to ensure even cooking and seamless integration with ground chicken, enhancing overall dish consistency.
- Moisture Management: Watch cooking temperature carefully to prevent chicken from becoming dry; occasional splashes of chicken broth can help maintain moisture and prevent burning.
