Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add chopped green onions or fresh herbs to the chicken mixture.
• Use spicy Ranch dressing or add a dash of hot sauce to give the sliders a kick.
• Substitute mozzarella or pepper jack cheese for a different cheesy twist.
• Make ahead by assembling the sliders and refrigerating overnight before baking.

Storage

Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through to keep the bread from becoming soggy. You can also microwave them briefly but expect softer bread.
