Step 3: Combine the Chicken and Alfredo Sauce
- Combine the Chicken and Sauce: Add the cooked chicken (with any juices) back into the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Stir everything together until the chicken is evenly coated in the creamy sauce. Let it simmer for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Final Adjustments: Taste the filling and adjust the seasoning with a pinch more salt, pepper, or Italian seasoning if needed.
Step 4: Assemble the Sloppy Joes
- Prepare the Rolls: Slice your sandwich rolls or buns in half, and lightly toast them if desired. Toasting the rolls will add an extra layer of flavor and prevent them from becoming too soggy.
- Assemble the Sloppy Joes: Spoon a generous portion of the creamy Chicken Alfredo mixture onto the bottom half of each bun. You can pile it high for an extra indulgent bite.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle a little more Parmesan cheese on top of the filling, and garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
- Serve Immediately: Place the top half of the bun on the sandwich and serve immediately while the filling is hot and gooey.
Tips for Perfect Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Joes
- Chicken Options: Ground chicken is perfect for this dish, but you can also use shredded rotisserie chicken for a quicker, more convenient option. If you like a bit of texture, try adding a handful of chopped spinach or mushrooms into the chicken mixture.
- Spice it Up: If you want to add a bit of heat, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes or chili powder to the Alfredo sauce or chicken mixture.
- Extra Cheese: For extra cheesiness, mix in a bit of cream cheese into the sauce for a super creamy texture. You could also top the finished sandwiches with a generous handful of shredded mozzarella cheese and melt it under the broiler for a cheesy, golden finish.
- Make Ahead: The chicken Alfredo mixture can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. When you’re ready to serve, simply reheat the mixture and assemble the sandwiches.
