Chicken and Cheddar Sliders

Chicken and Cheddar Sliders are not only delicious, but the perfect make ahead party food. They serve a crowd, and come together so easily my four year old can do it.

I originally came up with the idea after making these French Dip Sliders from Chelsea’s Messy Apron. I had large crew coming over and wanted to offer a variety of sandwiches. So I decided to try making a Chicken & Cheddar variety after one of my favorite sandwiches at a local place here in Virginia Beach called Baker’s Crust.

I like to use good quality sandwich meat, so I went for Boar’s Head Rotisserie Chicken from the deli at my local supermarket. You can use any sliced chicken you want, but I would stick with deli stuff. It will make the sliders hold together easier than if you used chunks of chicken breast.

Just slice the King’s Hawaiin Rolls in half as a big sheet. Then place the bottom half of the rolls in a greased baking dish.

Top with six slices of cheddar.

Then the chicken.

Then place 12 very thinly sliced tomato slices.

And 6 strips of cooked bacon.

Then put on more cheese.

Brush melted butter on top mixed with some kosher salt and Italian Seasoning (like McCormick’s Perfect Pinch).

Bake and serve!

These can be assembles up to one day in advance and kept in the fridge until ready to bake.
