Cheesy Chicken Sliders Food

CHEESY CHICKEN SLIDERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut rolls in half lengthwise, keeping bottom attached as much as possible, and place in a 9x13 baking dish.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add the flour and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the garlic.
• Whisk in the milk slowly. Cook and stir over medium heat until the mixture thickens.
• Add the mozzarella cheese and ranch powder and stir until melted and creamy. Stir in the chicken, tomatoes, bacon, and spinach.
• Continue to stir until everything is heated through and the spinach is wilted. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Spoon the chicken mixture evenly over the rolls in the baking dish. Top with cheddar cheese. Place the tops of the rolls over the cheese.
• Stir together the melted butter and Worcestershire sauce. Drizzle over the tops of the rolls. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
• Cover the pan with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 5 minutes. Cut through the rolls and serve immediately.

GRILLED CHICKEN SLIDERS

Steps:

• For the chicken and marinade: Mix up the oil, Worcestershire sauce, chile powder, garlic, lemon juice, onions and some salt and pepper in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken to the bag and marinate for at least 2 hours and up to 4.
• Twenty minutes before cooking, fire up the grill.
• For the sandwich bar fixins: Set out separate plates or bowls of the honey mustard, pico de gallo, crumbled bacon, tomatoes and red onions.
• Grill the breasts for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side, then turn. Lay half a slice of cheese on each breast and grill until cooked through, a further 2 to 3 minutes.
• Serve the chicken with rolls and fixins and let everyone build their own sliders.

SUNNY'S EASY AND CHEESY STUFFED SLIDER BAKE-TWO WAYS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven or a grill for indirect cooking to 350 degrees F.
• Prepare the rolls: Place the rolls on a nonstick-foil-lined baking sheet. With a serrated paring knife, carve out a circle on the top of each, cutting down about 1 inch deep. (You need to keep the bottom sturdy, so you don't want to cut all the way to the bottom. Get your fingers in there and pull out the plug of bread, leaving room for your filling. Save the excess bread for breadcrumbs!)
• For the buffalo chicken sliders: Mix the chicken, blue cheese, 1 1/2 cups wing sauce or to taste and 1/2 cup of the shredded Italian cheese blend in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• For the Italian meatball sub sliders: Assemble 12 sliders by spooning into the cavity of each: 1 tablespoon marinara sauce followed by 1 tablespoon mozzarella, then a meatball, then a teaspoon of marinara. Sprinkle the tops of the meatball sliders with the Parmesan.
• For the buffalo chicken sliders: Assemble the remaining 12 sliders by stuffing 2 to 3 tablespoons of the buffalo chicken mixture into each cavity. Top with the remaining shredded Italian cheese blend.
• Bake the sliders in the oven or over indirect heat until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden, about 25 minutes.

EASY CHEESY SLOPPY JOE SLIDERS

Steps:

• Cook the beef in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Carefully drain excess fat from the pan. Add the onion, bell pepper and garlic and cook until fragrant and the veggies soften, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Stir in the ketchup, hot sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire and brown sugar. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the veggies are tender and the mixture has thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. If the mixture seems too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons water. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Preheat the broiler. Place the buns cut-side up on a baking sheet and sprinkle both sides with the cheese. Broil until the cheese is bubbly and melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Spoon the sloppy joe mixture on the bottom halves of the buns, close the sandwiches and enjoy immediately.
