Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Joes
These Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Joes are creamy, rich, and packed with flavor. Tender chicken in Alfredo sauce served on buttery brioche buns for a quick family meal.
Sloppy Joes have always been a go-to in our home, but I wanted to give them a new twist. My family loves creamy pasta dishes, especially Alfredo, so one night I thought, why not combine the two? That’s how these Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Joes came to be. They are rich, creamy, and a little indulgent, which is exactly what makes them special.
The first time I served them, my wife looked at me like I had gone too far, but after the first bite, she was sold. The sauce is silky and full of flavor, and the shredded chicken soaks it all up perfectly. The toasted bun holds it together while giving it a little crunch. It’s comfort food at its finest.
These sandwiches have now become a family favorite. They are quick to make and perfect for weeknights or when you need something hearty but easy. If you love Alfredo and enjoy a good sandwich, this one hits all the right notes.
Questions You May Have About This Recipe
Can I use rotisserie chicken?
Yes, that’s actually a great shortcut. It saves time and adds extra flavor.
Can I use jarred Alfredo sauce?
You can, but homemade Alfredo sauce gives it a creamier, fresher taste.
What kind of buns work best?
Soft brioche or hamburger buns work well. Toast them slightly to prevent sogginess.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, the filling can be made in advance. Reheat gently and assemble before serving.
Can I add vegetables?
Absolutely. Mushrooms, spinach, or even broccoli blend well with the creamy sauce.
