Use a spoon or spatula to break up the chicken into small pieces as it cooks. Once done, transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Alfredo Sauce
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter and minced garlic, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant. Then, pour in the heavy cream and Alfredo sauce. Stir until smooth, allowing the sauce to come together, and then mix in the Italian seasoning.
Step 3: Add Chicken and Seasonings
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Stir to coat the chicken thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
Step 4: Toast the Buns
While the chicken mixture is heating, toast the Sloppy Joe buns. Slice the buns in half and toast them lightly in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown.
Step 5: Assemble the Sloppy Joes
Spoon a generous amount of the chicken Alfredo mixture onto the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place the top half of the bun over the mixture, pressing lightly to help hold everything together.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Serve the Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Joes immediately while warm. They’re great with a side of fries, potato wedges, or a fresh green salad.
Tips for Perfect Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Joes
Toast the buns: Toasting helps the buns hold up to the creamy filling, preventing them from getting soggy.
Customize the flavor: Try adding extra Parmesan or mozzarella for even cheesier Sloppy Joes.
Add greens: For a little extra flavor and color, add fresh spinach or basil leaves before serving.
