For Serving

- Melt Cheese and Season: Stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese and Italian seasoning until the cheese melts and the mixture becomes creamy and smooth.

- Toast Buns: Toast the sandwich rolls or hamburger buns to your liking, either in a toaster, oven, or on a skillet for added texture and flavor.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Spoon the creamy chicken Alfredo mixture onto the bottom half of each toasted roll. Sprinkle a generous amount of grated Parmesan cheese over the filling.
- Garnish and Close: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness and cover with the top halves of the rolls.
- Serve: Serve the Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Joes hot and enjoy this comforting and flavorful twist on a classic sandwich.
