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.
