What goes into chicken fajita sliders
Chicken
I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into strips. Marinated the pieces with simple spices and cooked them on high heat before adding any vegetables.
Bell Peppers and Onions
A crucial ingredient for chicken fajitas filling is the bell pepper and onions. I used red, yellow, and green bell peppers, but it’s really up to you; feel free to use one color or a mix of different colors. You’ll also need 1 small onion, cut into strips, just like the bell peppers.
Spices
Marination is super simple; you’ll need salt, chili powder, paprika, cumin powder, black pepper powder, dried oregano, onion powder, and garlic powder.
You can also use readymade fajita seasoning as well.
Slider Buns
Use good-quality slider buns. I like to use Savory Kings Hawaiian, but you can also use sweet or any other brand of your choice. Cut the sliders in half with the help of a serrated knife. Add the fajita mixture, add lots of mozzarella cheese, and top it with the other half. Apply a generous amount of garlic butter before baking.
Garlic Butter
Melt the butter in a bowl, add in minced garlic, and chopped parsley or cilantro. Mix it well and apply on the buns before baking.
Cheese
I used freshly grated mozzarella cheese. Freshly grated cheese melts better than pre-shredded cheese. Feel free to use any cheese of your choice.
Pro Tip: To grate mozzarella cheese, I used a blender; that’s why it looked crumbly.
Baking Time
I baked my sliders at 350°F for about 15 minutes. I was watching it closely to avoid burning; it depends on the type of cheese you’ll use to see how long it’ll take to melt it.
How to Serve the Chicken Fajitas Sliders
Chicken fajita sliders make a perfect appetizer for any get-together; kids and adults are equally going to enjoy them. I usually make it as a main dish on weekdays because it is loved by my family, and it is quick and easy to put together.
How to Store Leftover Sliders
You can store any leftovers in a refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. I don’t recommend freezing the sliders. You can marinate the chicken, cut veggies, and freeze them. Once ready to serve, defrost, cook, and assemble.
