Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup marinara sauce or tomato sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 4 hamburger buns or sandwich rolls
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Begin by cooking and shredding your chicken breast, or use pre-cooked chicken for faster preparation. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shredded chicken, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning, stirring well to coat the chicken with the herbs. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and marinara sauce into the skillet. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and begins to simmer. Add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon the hot, creamy chicken alfredo mixture onto the hamburger buns or sandwich rolls. You can toast the buns lightly if desired for extra crunch. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use pre-cooked or leftover chicken to save time.
- Adjust the amount of marinara sauce for a more or less tomatoey flavor.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of chicken broth or more heavy cream to loosen it.
- For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes during cooking.
- Toast the buns lightly to prevent sogginess and enhance flavor.
