Ingredients

1 pound boneless chicken thighs or breasts cut into bite-size pieces
¼ cup yogurt
2 Tablespoons oil of choice
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
3-4 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon EACH cumin, coriander powder, salt
½ teaspoon EACH garam masala, fenugreek, curry powder, chili powder, turmeric, black pepper
½ onion sliced or chopped
½ bell pepper sliced or chopped
1 package slider buns pack of 12
1-2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese or cheese of choice

Sauce

½ cup mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon ketchup
1 Tablespoon hot sauce, sriracha, or red chili sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

For herb butter

4 tbsp butter melted
4 cloves garlic minced
2 tbsp cilantro or parsley minced

Instructions

Marinate: In a medium bowl, combine the chicken pieces, yogurt, oil, lemon, garlic and spices. Mix to combine and cover. Marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes or up to 48 hours.
Cook: Heat a heavy-duty pan over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken mixture, onion, and bell pepper. Cook on high heat for 8-10 minutes or until cooked through.
Make the sauce and herb butter: In a small bowl whisk all the ingredients for the sauce. In another bowl, whisk the ingredients for the herb butter. Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with foil and coat lightly with nonstick spray, oil, or butter.
Assemble: Slice the slider rolls in half, and place the bottoms evenly into the prepared pan. Spread the sauce evenly onto both sides of the rolls (from the inside). Top with the chicken mixture and sprinkle with a generous layer of cheese. Place the slider roll tops on top, and press down slightly. Brush the top with the butter mixture. Bake for 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Cover with foil until ready to serve.

Notes

Storing: Store leftover sliders in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
Reheating: The best way to reheat leftover sliders is in the oven, so they crisp up and aren't soggy. Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Or try them in the air fryer for about 4 minutes at 350 degrees F.
