• ✅ Budget-conscious
• ✅ Fancy-feeling without the effort

And let’s be real: anything served in a toasted bun and covered in melty cheese is already halfway to winning dinner.

Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Creamy Chicken Alfredo Filling:

• 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken is a total time-saver!)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ cup chicken broth
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional—but fancy)

For the Sandwiches:

• 4 sandwich buns (brioche, potato rolls, or whatever your heart desires)
• Extra Parmesan for topping (because why not?)

How to Make Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Joes

Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it starts to soften. Add garlic and stir for about 30 seconds—just enough to get the kitchen smelling amazing.

Step 2: Make It Saucy

Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir and bring it to a simmer. Let it bubble away gently for 5 minutes until it begins to thicken slightly (we’re not going for Alfredo soup here!).

Step 3: Get Cheesy

Lower the heat and add in Parmesan and mozzarella. Stir gently as the cheeses melt into the sauce. Toss in the Italian seasoning, plus a little salt and pepper to taste. The sauce should be smooth, creamy, and worthy of a happy dance.

Step 4: Add the Chicken

Stir in your shredded chicken, making sure every bite gets coated in that dreamy Alfredo goodness. Let it all simmer together for 2-3 minutes until it’s heated through.

Step 5: Assemble the Sloppy Joes

Lightly toast your buns (trust me, it’s worth the extra minute). Spoon a generous helping of the Alfredo chicken mixture onto the bottom half. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan and a pinch of parsley if you’re feeling fancy. Top with the other bun half.

Step 6: Serve and Devour

Serve these warm and messy beauties right away. Pair them with crispy fries, a green salad, or—if you’re really going for it—garlic bread.

Aneta’s Kitchen Note

I first made these Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Joes on a chaotic weeknight when I had leftover rotisserie chicken and a hungry family staring at me like I was a contestant on a cooking show. Let’s just say they disappeared faster than I could say “bon appétit.” Since then, they’ve become my go-to “lazy but make it gourmet” dinner.

They’re also a total crowd-pleaser for game nights, potlucks, or when you just want to treat yourself to something indulgent without turning on the oven for an hour.

Tips for Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Joe Success

• Shortcut Queen? Use store-bought Alfredo sauce in a pinch (just add some extra garlic and cheese for flavor).
• Make It Spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce if you want a little kick.
• Low-Carb Option: Skip the bun and serve the filling over zucchini noodles or inside a baked bell pepper.
• Feeding a crowd? Double the recipe and keep the filling warm in a slow cooker—perfect for parties.
