Provided by Scott Loitsch

Categories     Appetizers

Yield 12 sliders

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 rolls dinner rolls, 1 pack
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
3 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
¾ cup hot sauce
½ cup ranch dressing
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Carefully slice the pack of dinner rolls in half, being sure to keep the rolls connected as a single units as they are split into tops and bottoms.
  • Remove the top and place the bottom section in a 9x12 inch (23x30 cm) baking dish.

  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: Slider buns are traditionally used for chicken and cheese sliders, but you can also use other types of bread, such as Hawaiian rolls, dinner rolls, or even croissants.
  • Use high-quality chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are the best choices for chicken and cheese sliders. Make sure the chicken is cooked thoroughly before assembling the sliders.
  • Shred the chicken: Shredding the chicken makes it easier to eat and helps it to evenly distribute throughout the slider.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Cheddar, mozzarella, and provolone are all popular choices for chicken and cheese sliders. You can also use a combination of cheeses to create a unique flavor.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Common toppings for chicken and cheese sliders include bacon, lettuce, tomato, and onion. You can also get creative and add other toppings, such as avocado, pineapple, or jalapeños.
  • Serve the sliders warm: Chicken and cheese sliders are best served warm and fresh out of the oven. You can reheat them in the oven or microwave if necessary.
