TROPICAL PULLED PORK
① Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add onions and cook until soft, 5 minutes then add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more. Add in BBQ sauce and lime juice. Bring to a simmer and add chicken. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until cooked through, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
② When cool enough to handle, shred chicken. Return back to the sauce and stir to combine. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
③ Slice Sliders in half and place bottom buns into a 9”-x-13” baking dish. Add chicken mixture in an even layer, then top with pineapple and cheese. Broil sliders until the cheese is melted, 2-3 minutes.

VEGGIE SLIDERS
① Heat a large skillet to medium heat. Toss the sliced zucchini and the sliced sweet peppers with the olive oil and the spices in a large ziplock bag.
Lightly spray the skillet with cooking spray and add the veggies in a single layer (this may take two batches to get it all)
② Cook the vegetables for approximately 2 minutes on each side until they are tender and beginning to brown a bit. Remove vegetables from skillet and add the sliced halves of the rolls to the skillet to lightly toast them. Approximately 1 minute. Remove rolls from heat
③ Combine the feta cheese, cream cheese and basil in a small blender or food process and pulse approximately 30 seconds until well combined.
④ To assemble the sliders stack the zucchini and pepper slices on the rolls, top with basil leaves, spread a thick layer of the spread over the top half of the bun and close.
