Chicken Enchilada Sliders
Description
These Chicken Enchilada Sliders feature chicken breasts cooked and shredded, then mixed with sautéed onions and a generous amount of enchilada sauce. The mixture is placed on the bottom halves of slider buns, topped with shredded cheddar cheese, and covered with the remaining sauce before adding the bun tops.
The sliders are brushed with melted butter and baked, covered with foil initially to heat through and then uncovered to allow the cheese to melt and the tops to brown slightly. The baking temperature is moderate to ensure thorough warming without drying the buns.
These sliders serve well as party appetizers or as a casual meal option. Their handheld size encourages sharing and casual eating.
