Step 4: Add Cheese and Seasoning
Reduce heat and gradually add the parmesan cheese and stir until the cheese is melted and smooth. Add salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning and chili flakes (optional).

Step 5: Combine Chicken with Sauce
Put the shredded chicken in the skillet, and loosely fold it into the Alfredo sauce. Simmer in it 3-5 minutes allowing the chicken to take up the flavors.

Gently butter the interior of both buns and grill on a skillet or grill till golden brown. This measure will be taken to ensure that the buns do not get wet.
