Description
Bite-sized pizzas topped with juicy spiced chicken, colourful peppers, and melty cheese on toasted slider buns, combining the flavours of fajitas and pizza in a perfect party snack.
Ingredients
1 lb chicken tenders, cubed
1 small or 1/2 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 tbsp olive oil, plus more for frying
1–2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp chili flakes
2 tsp garlic powder
Juice of 1/2 lemon
~3/4 cup pizza sauce
2 cups shredded cheese (mozzarella and Mexican blend)
12 Hawaiian slider buns, split into 24 halves
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine chicken, onion, peppers, olive oil, salt, cayenne, paprika, chili flakes, and garlic powder.
- Heat more oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken mixture for about 10 minutes until chicken is cooked and vegetables are slightly charred. Finish with lemon juice and adjust seasoning.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place bun halves on a baking sheet and toast for 5 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
- Spread pizza sauce on each toasted bun half. Sprinkle with cheese and top with chicken fajita mixture. Add extra bell peppers if desired.
- Bake until cheese is melted, 3–5 minutes. Garnish with parmesan if using, and serve warm.
Notes
- Toast buns before topping to avoid sogginess.
- Use salsa instead of pizza sauce for a Mexican twist.
- Jalapeños add extra heat.
- Can be made vegetarian by swapping chicken for mushrooms, tofu, or extra peppers.
