Chicken Pesto Sliders
Hawaiian rolls, rotisserie chicken, homemade basil pesto, and mozzarella cheese come together to make one fantastic slider! Perfect for a weeknight meal or game day crowd, simply double the recipe!
Servings: 9 sliders
Ingredients
- 9 slider rolls (I use Kings Hawaiian)
- 1/4 c. basil pesto
- 2 c. cooked shredded chicken (I use rotisserie chicken)
- 1 c. grated low moisture mozzarella cheese
- 2 T. melted butter
- 1/2 tsp. garlic salt
- 1 tsp. dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly spray an 8x8x2-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Slice the rolls in half. Place the bottom halves into the prepared baking dish.
- Spread the pesto over the bottom halves of the rolls. Place shredded chicken on top of the pesto, then sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the chicken. Cover with the top halves of the rolls.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, garlic salt, and parsley. Brush the butter mixture over the sliders.
- Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese has melted. Serve warm.
Notes
This recipe can easily be doubled for a crowd using a greased baking sheet. Instructions and baking time would be the same as above.
Can the chicken pesto sliders be cooked in Miçrowave?
Hi Margaret, No you should cook them in the oven. You can reheat them, one at a time, in the microwave for 30 seconds on high depending on your microwave.
