Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast
  • 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • to taste Salt and pepper
For the Buns
  • 8 small or medium-sized buns
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted For brushing
  • Chopped parsley For garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Cheddar cheese, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. Slice the buns in half without cutting all the way through. Generously spoon the chicken mixture into each bun.
  4. Place the filled buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Drizzle the melted butter over the filled buns for a golden, crunchy exterior.
  6. Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and the cheese is wonderfully melted.
  7. Remove the buns from the oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

Feel free to substitute chicken with shredded turkey or a mix of cooked vegetables for a vegetarian option. Ensure chicken is thoroughly cooked before shredding to keep filling tender and delicious. Avoid overstuffing the buns to prevent bursting.
