Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season 1 pound of chicken strips with salt, pepper, chili powder, and cumin. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, stirring occasionally. Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and bell peppers to the remaining oil. Sauté over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes until they begin to soften, stirring frequently to ensure even cooking. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in heavy cream, stirring continuously until combined. Allow the cream to come to a gentle simmer, which will take about 2 minutes. Fold in shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir well to coat with the creamy cheese sauce and sautéed vegetables. Cook together for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Place a generous scoop of the creamy chicken mixture on the bottom half of each slider bun. Top with the other half of the bun, pressing gently to secure.
- Garnish sliders with freshly chopped cilantro and serve warm.
