Spicy Chicken and Cheese Sliders

I have been trying to make mostly healthy item as of late. I'm always looking for recipes that don't always taste healthy though, as I am now married and my husband is a, ahem, PICKY eater. :)
I was reading SELF magazine and found this recipe. I did change it slightly and it was so amazing!!! It was a little spicy for my northern friends, so next time I will make it with a little less chipotle peppers.

Spicy Chicken and Cheese Sliders

Ingredients
Cooking Spray
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 red onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 rotisserie chicken, meat pulled off bone and shredded
2/3 cup store-bought BBQ sauce
1/4 can (7 oz) chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (I doubled it, and would not recommend unless you like things very spicy)
8 small whole-wheat buns
1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar
2 cups sprouts (arugula or alfalfa)

Instructions

Coat a sauce pan (I use a wok) with cooking spray. Cook chopped bell pepper, garlic, and onion in pan over medium heat, stirring for about 3 minutes. Add in shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, chipotles, and 1/4 cup of water. simmer for about 15 min.



Heat oven to 400, open buns and place on a cookie sheet covered in foil. Distribute chicken evenly over bottom half of each bun; top each with some shredded cheese. Bake until cheese melts and bubbles, about 4-5 minutes. Top with cherry tomatoes and sprouts and bun cap
Serve right away!!
I paired mine with sweet potato fries and a garden salad :)



Enjoy :)
