Description

Cheesy Dynamite Chicken Buns are a delicious fusion snack or main course featuring tender shredded chicken tossed in a creamy, spicy sauce with melted mozzarella cheese, all baked inside soft burger buns for a flavorful and satisfying meal perfect for parties, lunchboxes or quick dinners.

Ingredients

Chicken Filling

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce (adjust to spice level)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Buns and Toppings

  • 6–8 soft burger buns or dinner rolls
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Sesame seeds (optional)
  • Chopped parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics and Chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, warm the oil and sauté the chopped onion for 2–3 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the shredded chicken, soy sauce, black pepper, paprika, chili garlic sauce, and mayonnaise. Cook the mixture for 2–3 minutes until creamy and well combined. Remove from heat and stir in half of the shredded mozzarella cheese to incorporate.
  2. Prepare Buns and Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the burger buns or dinner rolls in half and arrange the bottom halves in a baking dish, ready for filling.
  3. Assemble Chicken Buns: Spoon a generous amount of the creamy chicken filling onto each bun bottom. Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the filling. Cover each with the top halves of the buns to form sandwiches.
  4. Butter and Garnish: Brush the tops of the assembled buns with melted butter and, if desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped parsley for added flavor and presentation.
  5. Bake the Buns: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are slightly golden and toasted.
  6. Serve Hot: Remove the buns from the oven and serve immediately while warm and gooey for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • Great for parties, lunchboxes, or weeknight dinners.
  • Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and easy preparation.
  • Add sliced jalapeños to the filling for extra heat.
  • Substitute mozzarella cheese with cheddar for a sharper flavor.
