1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

¾ cup buttermilk

For the Chicken Filling:

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded

1 cup queso dip (store-bought or homemade)

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

For Assembly:

Sliced jalapeños (pickled or fresh)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Biscuit Dough:

    - Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

      - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder.

        - Add the cubed butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

          - Gradually add in the buttermilk and stir until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

            Shape and Bake the Biscuits:

              - Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it 2-3 times. Roll out to about ½ inch thickness.

                - Use a round biscuit cutter (about 2 inches in diameter) to cut out biscuit rounds and place them on a lined baking sheet.

                  - Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and let cool slightly.

                    Prepare the Chicken Filling:

                      - In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, queso dip, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully combined. Add chopped cilantro if using.

                        Assemble the Sliders:

                          - Once the biscuits have cooled, slice each biscuit in half horizontally.

                            - On the bottom half, spoon a generous amount of the chicken queso filling. Top with sliced jalapeños and avocado if desired.

                              - Place the top half of the biscuit on the filling and drizzle with additional queso dip.

                                Serve:

                                  - Arrange the sliders on a platter and serve warm. Enjoy your Mini Chicken Queso Biscuit Sliders with extra jalapeños or a side of salsa!
