Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie works well)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: red pepper flakes
- 1 cup chopped spinach or roasted red peppers
- 4 soft sandwich buns, toasted
- Optional: shredded mozzarella for extra cheesiness
Instructions
- Prepare Chicken: Shred or dice cooked chicken. If raw, cook until fully done and tender.
- Sauté Aromatics: In a skillet, sauté onion and garlic until fragrant.
- Make Alfredo Sauce: Melt butter over medium heat, add cream, and gradually whisk in Parmesan. Stir constantly to avoid lumps. Season with Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Add red pepper flakes if desired.
- Combine Chicken and Sauce: Fold chicken (and optional vegetables) into the Alfredo sauce until evenly coated. Adjust sauce consistency if needed.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Spoon creamy chicken mixture onto toasted buns. Sprinkle with mozzarella if desired. Serve immediately or keep warm until ready to serve.

For a twist, serve over pasta instead of in sandwiches.
