Ingredients for Chicken and Cheese Sliders

• Vegetable oil cooking spray

• 1 green pepper, chopped

• 1/2 medium red onion, chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, chopped

• 1 bone-in skinless chicken breast (about 170g )

• 120ml store-bought barbecue sauce

• 1/4 can (200g) chipotle peppers in adobo sauce

• 8 small whole-wheat buns (such as Pepperidge Farm Wheat Sliders)

• 80g grated aged cheddar

• 8 cherry tomatoes, sliced

• 2 cups sprouts (such as rocket or broccoli)

Coat a medium saucepan with cooking spray. Cook pepper, onion and garlic in pan over medium heat, stirring, 3 minutes. Add chicken, barbecue sauce, chipotles and 60ml water; cover and simmer until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°:F, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove chicken from sauce; place on a plate to cool for 5 minutes. Use a fork to pull meat off bone and shred; return meat to pan and toss to coat with sauce. Heat oven to 204°C. Open buns and set on a baking sheet covered with foil. Distribute chicken evenly among bottom half of each bun (about 2 tablespoons per bun); top each with 2 tablespoons cheese. Bake until cheese melts and bubbles, 4 to 5 minutes. Top with tomatoes, sprouts and bun cap; serve immediately.
