  2. In the same skillet, lower the heat and add sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic, cooking for an additional minute.
  3. Pour in heavy cream and stir to combine. Let it simmer gently for 2-3 minutes. Gradually fold in shredded cheddar, stirring until melted and smooth.
  4. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, stirring into the creamy cheese sauce and sautéed vegetables. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  5. Spoon the creamy chicken mixture onto the bottom half of each slider bun. Top with the other half of the bun and gently press down.
  6. Garnish each slider with chopped cilantro. Serve warm.
