Instructions
- BBQ Shredded Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt & pepper on both sides.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Transfer the chicken breasts to a cutting board or plate. Let them cool slightly, then shred into smaller pieces.
- In the same skillet over medium heat, add the barbecue sauce, water, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir to combine. Add salt & pepper, if desired.
- Add the shredded chicken back to the skillet and mix well with the sauce. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is heated through and well coated. Remove skillet of BBQ Shredded Chicken from the heat.
- BBQ Chicken Sliders:Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Slice the rolls in half horizontally, all the rolls still attached to each other. Place the bottoms in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Spread the BBQ Shredded Chicken evenly over the bottom of the rolls.
- Top the chicken with cheese slices, red onion, and cilantro. Place the top halves of the rolls over the filling.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, thyme leaves, salt, and pepper together. Brush this mixture over the tops of the rolls.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the sliders are heated through and the cheese is melted.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes to lightly toast the tops of the rolls.
- Remove from the oven and serve the BBQ Chicken Sliders warm and melty-gooey.
