Ingredients
- 1 lb. chicken breast pounded even
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 white onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 3/4 cup diced tomato
- 1/2 cup mild pickled jalapeños chopped, plus 12 slices reserved
- 3 tbsp jalapeño brine
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 3/4 cup Monterrey jack cheese grated
- 1/2 cup green onion green parts only, thinly sliced
- 6 slices cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup French’s fried onions
- 1 package King's Hawaiian slider buns sliced in half
- 2 tbsp salted butter melted
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat a sauté pan over medium heat with olive oil.
- Season chicken breast with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side, then reduce heat and cook the other side until internal temp reaches 165°F. Set aside and shred.
- Add diced onion and garlic to the same pan. Sauté for 4-6 minutes on medium-low until softened, then remove from heat.
- In a bowl, combine tomato, chopped jalapeños, jalapeño brine, mayo, shredded chicken, and Monterrey jack cheese. Stir until well mixed. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13 tray with bottom halves of slider buns. Layer with cheddar cheese, chicken mixture, jalapeño slices, and fried onions.
- Add top halves of buns. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with black pepper.
- Bake uncovered for 18-20 minutes until cheese is gooey and tops are golden. Serve warm.
Notes
You can prep the chicken mixture a day in advance and assemble just before baking. If you like it spicier, use hot pickled jalapeños or add a pinch of cayenne to the mayo.
