🍔 These irresistible Cheesy Chicken Jalapeño Popper Sliders are a party favorite that will satisfy cravings and have everyone coming back for seconds! 🎉✨


Ingredients

Slider Rolls (Hawaiian, potato, or dinner rolls)
Bacon
Cream Cheese
Monterey Jack Cheese or Cheddar Cheese
Shredded Chicken (such as rotisserie chicken)
Jalapeños (seeds removed for mild heat or kept for extra spice)
Butter (melted)
Garlic Powder
Optional Hot Sauce (for extra heat)


Instructions

1. Prepare the ingredients by cooking bacon until crispy and chop it into small pieces. Soften cream cheese by leaving it at room temperature or microwaving briefly.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or cheddar), chopped bacon, shredded chicken, and diced jalapeños. Add more jalapeño seeds or a splash of hot sauce for extra spice if desired. Mix until you achieve a creamy filling.
3. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Slice slider rolls horizontally to separate the top and bottom halves while keeping them attached.
4. Place the bottom half of the slider rolls on a baking tray. Evenly spread the chicken and cheese mixture over this layer. Sprinkle additional cheese on top for extra flavor.
5. Place the top half of the slider rolls back on top of the filling.
6. Melt butter in a small bowl and mix in garlic powder. Generously brush the tops of the slider rolls with the butter mixture for a flavorful finish.
7. Bake the sliders in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the slider tops turn a golden brown color.
8. Let the sliders cool slightly after baking to avoid burns and serve while still warm for the best experience.

Notes

1. Customize the heat level by adjusting the amount of jalapeño seeds or adding hot sauce to suit everyone’s spice preferences.
2. Use different bread types like potato rolls or brioche buns to match the occasion and flavor profile.
3. Prevent soggy buns by layering cheese on the bottom roll before adding the creamy filling.
