Ingredients

Scale

3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
6 soft hamburger buns (store-bought or homemade)
3 tbsp melted butter
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp chili powder

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook chicken in a skillet over medium heat for 7-10 minutes until cooked through. Shred cooled chicken into bite-sized pieces.
In a bowl, combine shredded chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, and half of the cheese. Mix well.
Gently slice open each bun without cutting all the way through. Stuff with the cheesy chicken mixture and sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
Place stuffed buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush with melted butter. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
