2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup spicy cream cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup diced jalapenos
1 tablespoon hot sauce
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Buns

1 package soft sandwich buns
Butter for brushing
Optional: sesame seeds for topping

Combine all ingredients in a bowl for the filling.

Instructions

Prepare the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine cooked chicken, spicy cream cheese, cheddar cheese, jalapenos, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Assemble the Buns

Split the sandwich buns and fill each with the chicken mixture. Close the buns and brush the tops with melted butter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.

Bake

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the filled buns on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Let cool slightly before serving.

Serving Suggestions

Pairing your Cheesy Dynamite Chicken Buns with a fresh salad or some crispy vegetables can create a well-rounded meal that balances the richness of the filling. A light coleslaw or a simple garden salad drizzled with vinaigrette adds a refreshing contrast and can complement the spicy flavors of the buns beautifully.

For a fun, casual presentation, consider serving your buns with a variety of dipping sauces. Offering ranch dressing, blue cheese dip, or even a spicy salsa can provide additional flavor options for those looking to customize their experience. Not only does this make for an interactive dining experience, but it also encourages guests to explore different flavor combinations.

Storage and Reheating

If you have leftovers, don’t worry—Cheesy Dynamite Chicken Buns can be stored easily. Place them in an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat them in the oven for a few minutes at 350°F (175°C) to restore their warmth and melt the cheese back to a gooey consistency, ensuring that every bite maintains its delicious flavor.

For longer storage, you can freeze the buns before baking. Just assemble them, freeze individually on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer bag. When you're ready to eat, bake them directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time. This makes it easy to have a flavorful meal ready at a moment's notice, perfect for busy nights or impromptu gatherings.
