Chipotle Chicken Sliders
Description
Chipotle Chicken Sliders feature shredded cooked chicken tossed with a creamy sauce made from mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, chipotle chiles in adobo, cilantro, and lime juice. This sauce provides a smoky, tangy flavor balanced by the cooling creaminess of mayo and yogurt. The mixture is spread over the bottom halves of slider rolls, layered with Pepper Jack cheese, then topped with the remaining rolls.
Brushed with melted butter and sprinkled with sesame seeds, the assembled sliders are baked covered and then uncovered to achieve a golden top and melted cheese inside. The result is a warm, flavorful slider with a tender, juicy filling accented by spicy chipotle and herbal notes from cilantro.
These sliders are suitable for casual meals and gatherings, offering an easy-to-eat option with a balance of smoky heat and creamy texture.
Depending on the size of rolls, more can sometimes fit into the baking dish to adjust portion size.
