Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream full-fat recommended
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese freshly grated preferred
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 hamburger buns brioche recommended
  • Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Wooden spoon
  • Toaster or additional skillet for toasting buns

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  3. Add the ground chicken, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Cook for 5-7 minutes until no pink remains and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Reduce heat to low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine with the chicken mixture.
  5. Gradually add the Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until melted and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. If too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of chicken broth.
  6. Sprinkle in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined and taste to adjust seasonings.
  7. Toast the hamburger buns lightly in a skillet or toaster for 2-3 minutes until golden. Spoon generous portions of the chicken Alfredo mixture onto the bottom buns, top with the other half, and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

Store leftover chicken mixture separately from buns in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently and add 1-2 tablespoons of cream to restore consistency. For added nutrition, incorporate chopped bell peppers or spinach when sautéing the onions. Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick. This mixture also works wonderfully tossed with penne pasta for another meal.
