Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken recommended)
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 4 hamburger buns (brioche buns recommended)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional garnish: Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Slice the hamburger buns in half and place them cut-side down in the skillet. Toast until golden and slightly crisp, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
- If using rotisserie chicken, shred it into bite-sized pieces. If cooking fresh chicken, season with salt and pepper, cook in a skillet until fully done (about 7-10 minutes), and shred once cool.
- In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Lower the heat and stir in your Alfredo sauce. Mix well to combine the garlic with the sauce.
- Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and stir until fully coated in the Alfredo sauce. Heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is warmed through.
- Spoon the chicken Alfredo mixture generously onto the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of parsley, if using. Place the top half of the bun over the filling.
- Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy with a side salad or your favorite veggies!
