Instructions

Start by heating the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, ensuring that it’s fully cooked. Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and shred it.
In the same skillet, toss in the sliced red and green bell peppers along with the onion. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until they soften, releasing their flavors into the pan.
Take a large bowl and combine the shredded chicken with the sautéed veggie mix and salsa. Stir well so that everything is evenly coated.
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Slice the slider buns in half and lay the bottom halves on a baking sheet to prepare for filling.
Spoon the chicken and veggie mixture generously onto each bun half, topping it off with shredded cheddar cheese so it melts beautifully in the oven.
Once all buns are filled, cover with the top halves of the buns and place in the oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese melts and the sliders turn a delightful golden color.
Once out of the oven, drizzle with sour cream and sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Enjoy your Loaded Cheesy Chicken Fajita Sliders with friends and family—they’re sure to be a hit!
