Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Filling
  • 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • cup mayonnaise
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
For the Sliders
  • 1 package of 12 slider rolls
  • 8 slices provolone cheese
  • 8 slices cheddar cheese
For the Butter Topping
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon poppy seeds optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  2. Combine the shredded chicken, mayonnaise, cream cheese, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
  3. Keep the slider rolls attached and slice the entire slab horizontally.
  4. Place the bottom half of the rolls in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Arrange the provolone cheese over the bottom rolls.
  6. Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the cheese.
  7. Add the cheddar cheese over the chicken and replace the top half of the rolls.
  8. Combine the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, parsley, and poppy seeds.
  9. Brush the butter mixture evenly over the rolls.
  10. Cover the dish loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  11. Remove the foil and bake for another 8 to 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted.
  12. Rest for five minutes, separate the sliders, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken makes preparation faster.
  • Shred the chicken finely so the sliders are easy to eat.
  • Place cheese beneath the filling to help prevent soggy bottoms.
  • Do not add the butter topping until shortly before baking.
  • Cover the sliders during the first part of baking.
  • Refrigerate leftovers for up to three days.
