Let's prepare spicy and saucy filling for the buns.

  • Ingredients for chicken stuffing:

    • Salt and pepper, to taste
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 small onion, finely chopped
    • 1 cup chicken broth

    Instructions:

    2. Sear: Heat olive oil in a pan. Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess liquid drip off. Cook until browned, about 5-6 minutes.
