Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
Cut the dinner rolls in half horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms intact.
Spoon a generous amount of the chicken and cheese mixture onto the bottom half of each bun.
Place the tops of the buns back on and brush the melted butter over the tops of the buns.
Arrange the filled buns in the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the buns are golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

For extra heat, increase the amount of sriracha or add cayenne pepper.
Swap chicken for a plant-based substitute for a vegetarian version.
Try different cheese combinations like cheddar, gouda, or cream cheese for varied flavors.
If you don’t have dinner rolls, slider buns or croissants work great.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
