Chicken Marinade

Fajita Filling

Fries

Method

Marinate Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Cook Chicken and Vegetables

  1. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are soft and slightly caramelized.

Assemble Sliders

  1. 5

    Prepare the Buns

    Slice the Hawaiian buns in half. Place a few pieces of grilled chicken on the bottom half of each bun.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    Top the chicken with sautéed peppers and onions, then place a slice of American cheese on top. Optionally, add shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes.

  3. 7

    Finish Sliders

    Cover with the top half of the buns. If desired, you can briefly grill the assembled sliders to melt the cheese.

Prepare Fries

  1. 8

    Cook the Fries

    Prepare the frozen fries according to the package instructions, usually baking or frying until golden and crispy. Season with salt to taste.
