Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup diced green bell pepper
- 1 cup diced yellow onion
- 2 ½ cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- ½ cup water
- 0.87 oz chicken gravy mix
Sliders
- 12 brioche dinner rolls
- 8 slices Provolone cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- ½ tablespoon Montreal steak spice
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the sliders and melting the cheese.
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat ½ tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced green bell peppers and yellow onions, cooking until they start to brown and soften, enhancing their flavor.
- Add Chicken: Incorporate the shredded rotisserie chicken into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
- Make Gravy Mixture: Pour ½ cup water and the chicken gravy mix into the skillet, stirring to coat all the chicken pieces thoroughly. Reduce heat to low to keep the mixture warm without boiling.
- Prepare Buns: Slice the brioche dinner rolls horizontally and place the bottom halves onto a baking sheet, ready to be filled.
- Assemble Sliders: Spoon the warm chicken mixture evenly over the bottom buns, ensuring each slider has a generous amount of filling.
- Add Cheese: Place Provolone cheese slices over the chicken mixture on each slider to ensure perfect melting during baking.
- Top Buns: Place the remaining top buns over each sandwich, forming complete sliders.
- Brush and Season: Brush the tops of the buns with melted butter and sprinkle the Montreal steak spice evenly over each to add a flavorful crust and seasoning.
- Cover Sliders: Cover the entire baking sheet with aluminum foil to retain moisture while baking and allow cheese to melt properly.
- Bake Sliders: Place the covered baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 17 to 20 minutes, or until the Provolone cheese is melted and the buns are nicely browned on top.
- Serve: Remove the sliders from the oven, pull them apart carefully, and serve hot for a delicious, satisfying meal or appetizer option.
Notes
- Rotisserie chicken offers convenience, but you can substitute with cooked shredded chicken breast if preferred.
- Ensure not to overcook the peppers and onions; they should be tender but still slightly crisp for texture.
- Brioche rolls are recommended for their buttery flavor, but any soft dinner roll will work.
- Montreal steak spice can be substituted with a blend of garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt if unavailable.
- Covering with foil helps melt the cheese evenly and prevents buns from drying out.
- Leftover sliders can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven wrapped in foil for best results.
