Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Marinade

  • 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 cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon garam masala
  • ½ teaspoon fenugreek
  • ½ teaspoon curry powder
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Vegetables

  • ½ onion, sliced or chopped
  • ½ bell pepper, sliced or chopped

Slider Components

  • 1 package slider buns (pack of 12)
  • 1–2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese or cheese of choice

Sauces

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

Herb Butter

  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro or parsley, minced

Instructions

  1. Marinate Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the chicken pieces with yogurt, oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and all the spices including cumin, coriander, salt, garam masala, fenugreek, curry powder, chili powder, turmeric, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to coat the chicken well. Cover and refrigerate to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 48 hours to develop deep flavor.
  2. Cook Chicken and Vegetables: Heat a heavy-duty skillet or frying pan on medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken along with sliced onion and bell pepper. Cook everything on high heat for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender but still vibrant.
  3. Prepare Sauces and Preheat Oven: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, hot sauce, and Dijon mustard to create the slider sauce. In another bowl, whisk melted butter with minced garlic and chopped cilantro or parsley to make the herb butter. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375ºF and line a 9×13-inch baking dish with foil, lightly greasing it with spray, oil, or butter.
  4. Assemble Sliders: Slice the slider buns in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves evenly in the prepared baking dish. Spread the sauce evenly on the insides of both the bottom and top buns. Spoon the cooked chicken mixture over the bottom buns and sprinkle generously with shredded mozzarella cheese. Place the top buns on each slider and press down gently. Brush the tops with the garlicky herb butter mixture.
  5. Bake Sliders: Place the assembled sliders in the oven and bake at 375ºF for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the tops are nicely coated with butter and lightly golden. Remove from oven and cover with foil to keep warm until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
  • To reheat, place sliders in the oven at 375ºF for 15-20 minutes to keep them crispy and avoid sogginess.
  • Alternatively, reheat in an air fryer at 350ºF for about 4 minutes.
