Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Sliders
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Servings: 12 sliders
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 1 ½ cups BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
- 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional for topping)
- Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to fit the Hawaiian rolls.
- In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, and pineapple chunks. Stir until evenly coated.
- Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally (keeping them attached). Place the bottom halves in the prepared baking dish.
- Spoon the BBQ chicken mixture evenly over the bottom halves of the rolls. Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
- Place the top halves of the rolls back on.
- Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder and sesame seeds.
- Cover loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and tops are golden.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly before slicing into individual sliders. Garnish with cilantro or green onions if desired.
