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 ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Biscuit Dough:

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

      - In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk until well blended.

        - Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.

          - Gradually pour in the buttermilk, stirring gently until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.

            Shape and Bake the Biscuits:

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

                - Utilize a round biscuit cutter (approximately 2 inches in diameter) to cut out biscuit rounds and place them evenly spaced on a lined baking sheet.

                  - Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top. Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.

                    Prepare the Chicken Filling:

                      - In a large mixing bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, queso dip, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is evenly combined. If desired, fold in the chopped cilantro for added freshness.

                        Assemble the Sliders:

                          - Once the biscuits have cooled slightly, carefully slice each biscuit in half horizontally to create a top and bottom half.

                            - On the bottom half of each biscuit, spoon a generous portion of the chicken queso filling. Top with sliced jalapeños and avocado if using for extra flavor and creaminess.

                              - Cap with the top half of the biscuit and drizzle with extra queso dip for an indulgent touch.

                                Serve:

                                  - Arrange the assembled sliders on a serving platter and present them while warm. Pair your Mini Chicken Queso Biscuit Sliders with extra jalapeños or a side of salsa for dipping. Enjoy!
