Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound chicken breast, cubed
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons chipotle in adobo, minced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Slider buns (about 8-10)
- Optional toppings: avocado slices, cilantro, lime wedges, or pickled red onions
Instructions
- Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the minced garlic. Sauté for about a minute until fragrant but not browned.
- Toss in the cubed chicken breast, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Sauté the chicken for roughly 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
- Lower the heat and stir in the honey and minced chipotle. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Prepare your slider buns by warming them in the oven or toasting them on a skillet.
- Assemble your sliders with a generous scoop of the honey chipotle garlic chicken on each bun, adding your favorite toppings.
Notes
Chicken breasts can be swapped with chicken thighs for a juicier option. Use maple syrup instead of honey for a more robust flavor.
