Description
A delicious twist on classic sloppy joes, combining ground chicken with creamy Alfredo sauce and fettuccine pasta for a unique and satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 8 oz fettuccine pasta
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium bell pepper, diced (any color)
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 4 hamburger buns
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, diced bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
- Add the ground chicken to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook, breaking up the chicken with a spatula, until it is fully cooked and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the chicken is cooked, reduce the heat to low and stir in the Alfredo sauce. Mix well to combine, allowing the sauce to heat through for about 2-3 minutes.
- Gently fold in the cooked fettuccine pasta, ensuring that it is well coated with the creamy Alfredo sauce and chicken mixture. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to warm everything together.
- Toast the hamburger buns lightly if desired. Spoon a generous amount of the Chicken Alfredo mixture onto the bottom half of each bun. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Place the top half of the bun over the filling and serve immediately. Enjoy your Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Joes warm, with a side of your favorite chips or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
