Ingredients

1 pound ground chicken (can be substituted with ground turkey)
1 cup Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup mozzarella cheese (use provolone for variation)
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated preferred)
4 hamburger buns (toasted)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Step 1: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground chicken and sauté for about 7–10 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned and no longer pink.
Step 2: Once cooked, reduce heat to low and stir in the Alfredo sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. Cook for another 3–5 minutes until the cheese melts and the mixture becomes creamy.
Step 3: Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste, stirring thoroughly to ensure the flavors are well balanced.
Step 4: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and toast the hamburger buns for about 5–7 minutes until golden brown.
Step 5: Spoon the creamy chicken Alfredo mixture onto the bottom half of each toasted bun and top with the other half to assemble the sandwiches.
Step 6: Serve immediately while warm, pairing optionally with fries or a fresh salad.

Tips & Variations

For a twist, substitute mozzarella with provolone or add a pinch of crushed red pepper for a subtle kick.
Use ground turkey instead of chicken for a leaner option.
Make your own Alfredo sauce with butter, cream, garlic, and Parmesan for an extra fresh flavor.
Try adding sautéed mushrooms or spinach to the mixture for added texture and nutrients.

Storage

Store any leftover chicken Alfredo mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of milk or cream if the sauce thickens too much. Keep buns separate until ready to serve to prevent sogginess.
