Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 brioche buns

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Mixture: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
- Cook the Chicken: Add the ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the chicken mixture.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like mozzarella or pepper jack for a unique twist.
- If you prefer a spicier version, add finely diced jalapeños to the onion and garlic mixture.
- Serve alongside a fresh salad or crispy fries for a complete meal.
