Week 11 :: Buffalo Chicken Sliders

INGREDIENTS:
-1 Tbsp. butter
-1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken
-1/3 cup buffalo sauce
-1/2 Tbsp. garlic powder
-Salt and pepper (to taste)
-1/2 cup shredded cheddar
-1/4 cup of ranch dressing
-2 Tbsp. melted butter
-4 slider buns

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. In a large saute pan over medium heat, melt one tablespoon of butter. Add the shredded chicken, and toss the chicken in the butter to coat.

2. Add buffalo sauce, and toss the chicken to coat again. Add garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 

3. In a medium bowl, combine shredded cheddar and ranch dressing. I used a fork, that way I could easily transfer the ranch-coated cheese to the sliders.

4. Place 1/4 cup of the buffalo chicken onto the bottom half of a slider. Repeat on each slider bun.

5. Top buffalo chicken with at least 1-2 Tbsp. of the cheese/ranch mix. Top with chopped green onion (optional!), and then cap the sliders with the top bun.

6. Brush melted butter to each of the top buns before baking.

7. Bake at 375 for about 5 minutes.

8. Serve hot!

"NOTES FOR NEXT TIME" = Holy smokes! These are PERFECTION and melt in your mouth. The only thing I may change is the recipe called for rotisserie chicken but they didn't have any at Kroger when I went, so I opted for chicken breasts and cooked / shredded myself. So I try making it with the actual rotisserie chicken it called for.
