Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (12 count) package Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 1.5 lbs cooked, shredded chicken breast
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite kind)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar, Gouda, or Pepper Jack)
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, chicken broth, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until the chicken is fully coated.
- Slice the entire package of Hawaiian rolls horizontally, keeping the rolls connected in one piece. Place the bottom half of the rolls into the prepared baking dish.
- Distribute the sauced chicken mixture evenly over the bottom layer of rolls.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the chicken mixture.
- Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese layer.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and poppy seeds (if using). Brush this mixture evenly over the top of the assembled sliders.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the tops of the rolls are golden brown.
- Carefully slice the sliders apart between the rolls before serving hot.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add 4 slices of cooked, crumbled bacon over the cheese layer before adding the top rolls.
- If you prefer a tangier flavor, substitute half of the BBQ sauce with honey mustard sauce.
- Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to speed up the preparation time significantly.
