Delicious Extra-Cheesy Chicken Sliders made with savory shredded chicken, cheese, and topped with buttery garlic.
Equipment
- 9x13-inch baking dish
- microwave-safe bowl
Ingredients
Cheese and Chicken Mixture
- 1 package Hawaiian sweet rolls such as King’s
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)
- 1 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese (about 4 ounces)
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 pound boneless, skinless cooked chicken (shredded into bite-size pieces, about 4 cups)
- 4 medium scallions (thinly sliced, about 1 cup)
- ¼ cup mayonnaise preferably
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds preferably toasted
Instructions
- Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F. Without separating the rolls, cut 1 package Hawaiian sweet dinner rolls in half horizontally with a serrated knife. Place the bottom half of the rolls cut-side up in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Place 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese in a medium bowl and toss to combine.
- Place 4 cups shredded cooked chicken, 1 cup thinly sliced scallions, ¼ cup mayonnaise, ¼ cup sour cream, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt in a large bowl and stir to combine.
- Arrange half of the cheese mixture onto the bottom half of the rolls in an even layer. Transfer the chicken mixture over the cheese and spread into an even layer. Top with the remaining cheese mixture.
- Place 3 tablespoons unsalted butter and the minced garlic in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted, about 30 seconds. Brush half of the garlic butter on the cut side of the top half of the rolls. Place the top half of the rolls over the sliders cut side down. Brush the tops of the rolls with the remaining garlic butter.
- Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake until the cheese is melted, 20 to 25 minutes. Uncover and bake until the rolls are lightly browned and toasted, 5 to 7 minutes more. Cut with the serrated knife to separate the sliders into individual sandwiches before serving.
Notes
Leftover sliders can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
