Equipment
- Large pot
- Fork
- saucepan
- Spoon
- baking dish
- Oven
Ingredients
- 12 slider buns
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup buffalo wing sauce
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in a pot of boiling water or chicken broth. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and easily shreds with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Set aside.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cream cheese and stir until smooth.
- Stir in the buffalo wing sauce and garlic powder. Simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is heated through.
- Add the shredded chicken to the buffalo sauce and stir to coat evenly.
- Slice the slider buns in half. Place the bottom halves in a baking dish.
- Top with the buffalo chicken mixture, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Place the top halves of the slider buns on top of the cheese.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the buns are golden brown.
- Remove the sliders from the oven and drizzle with ranch dressing. Sprinkle with green onions.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
For a sweeter flavor, add a drizzle of honey to the buffalo sauce. Top the sliders with crumbled blue cheese for a pungent, salty flavor. Mix in some chopped celery for added crunch and freshness. Brush the slider buns with garlic butter before baking for extra flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
