    • 400g chicken breast (cut into fillet strips)
    • 1 ¼ tsp smoked paprika
    • 1 tsp garlic granules
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • 25g runny honey
    • 1 ½ tsp chipotle paste
  • Buns and Toppings:
    • 4 brioche buns
    • 4 mozzarella cheese slices
    • 10g light butter
    • 1 tsp chopped garlic
    • 1 tsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Sauce:
    • 20g ranch dressing
    • ½ tsp chipotle paste

Instructions

  • Season and Cook the Chicken:
    • Season chicken strips with smoked paprika, garlic granules, salt, and pepper.
    • Pan-fry the chicken until cooked through, then shred it using a hand whisk or two forks.
  • Prepare the Sauce:
    • Mix ranch dressing and chipotle paste in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Add Flavor to Chicken:
    • Once shredded, mix the chicken with honey and chipotle paste until well combined.
  • Assemble the Buns:
    • Toast the bottom halves of the brioche buns.
    • Top each with a slice of mozzarella cheese, the chicken mixture, and a drizzle of chipotle ranch sauce.
  • Bake:
    • Place the assembled buns in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the buns are toasted.
  • Garlic Butter Finish:
    • Melt the butter and mix it with chopped garlic. Microwave for 15 seconds.
    • Brush the butter mixture over the tops of the cooked buns and sprinkle with chopped parsley.

Notes

 

  • Adjust the spice level by adding more or less chipotle paste.
  • Serve with a side of salad or fries for a complete meal.
