BBQ Chicken Sliders

 BBQ Chicken Sliders

 

 

 

 

Whoever thought of sliders was a genius. What a quick and easy way to serve warm sandwiches fresh out of the oven filled with your favorite ingredients.  I decided to clear out the fridge today and saw some leftover rotisserie chicken. I had some pre-cooked bacon and some sweet rolls that I needed to use before they expired. Then I grabbed a small bottle of barbecue sauce and a pack of cheese and I knew I had the makings of a great slider! A slider that is everything a great slider recipe should be: delicious, quick, and easy to make in just 15 minutes!

 

BBQ Chicken Sliders 

Non stick cooking spray

1 (12 ounce) package Hawaiian sweet dinner rolls

8-10 slices of Swiss cheese

Sweet Baby Ray’s Honey Barbecue Sauce

5-6 strips of c0oked bacon

2 cups finely shredded cooked chicken breast, warmed

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Line a 9 x 13 rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil; lightly coat with cooking spray. Using a serrated bread knife, cut rolls in half horizontally, keeping top halves and bottom halves intact.

Place bottom half of rolls, cut-side up, on prepared baking sheet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Brush a light coating of barbecue sauce on the bottom half of the rolls, making sure to cover completely.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next add slices of Swiss cheese on top of sauce overlapping to cover top to bottom and side to side.

Lay the shredded chicken on top of the cheese, again making sure to cover the entire surface. 

Add a little barbecue sauce on top of the chicken. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Add a layer of bacon and another layer of cheese if desired. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Place top half of rolls over cheese. Brush tops and sides of rolls with melted butter. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Bake in preheated oven until cheese is melted, tops of rolls are golden brown, and chicken mixture is heated through, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven, cut into 12 sliders and serve immediately.

Remove the rolls from package, keeping them together. Using a long serrated knife, slice through the middle of the rolls, setting the top aside.

Place the bottom half of the rolls (still all together) inside your lined baking dish.  Spread mayonnaise on bottom half of rolls. 

Top bottom half of rolls with ham.

Lay slices of cheese on top.

In a saucepan, over low heat, combine butter, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and minced onion.  Stir well.

My 4 ingredient Deep Dish Pizza/Calzone

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm about to show you how to make the best deep-dish pizza you’ve ever tasted.  Its fast and easy and so amazing, you’ll make it time and time again.  And there’s only three ingredients!  Here are my step by step instructions so you can see for yourself.  It’s a cross between a pizza and a Calzone and OMG so good!!!!

My 4 ingredient Deep Dish Pizza/Calzone

 I can Pillsbury refrigerated Pizza Crust

2 cups Mozzarella cheese

1 Tablespoon Italian Seasoning 

1 package of pepperoni slices

1 small jar of pizza sauce 

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. 

 

Open a can of Pillsbury Pizza Dough.  Roll it out flat on your work surface. I usually roll it out on parchment paper but you can sprinkle flour or corn meal down first if you want. Sprinkle Italian Seasoning on top of rolled out dough.  You can just use Oregano if you don't have Italian seasoning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add all of the mozzarella cheese on top of the dough.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bring up the corners and fold dough into a round ball, tucking in the excess underneath. Pat down with hand.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lay on your parchment paper lined  baking sheet

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Slice an X into the top of the dough and fold back the corners to make flaps around the center. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add your pizza sauce to the center on top of the cheese. Leave the flaps open. Sprinkle a little more seasoning on top of sauce.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next, add the pepperoni to completely cover the top and all around the opening. Sprinkle a little more cheese on top.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spray entire dough with non-stick cooking spray and place in the oven.  Place on center rack of the oven. Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes or until cheese has melted and the dough is a soft golden brown. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes. Slice in half and then in quarters or anyway you want to slice it. Enjoy!

Cook the pasta until it just hits the al dente point. About two minutes less than what directions say. 

Add the broccoli during the last 4 minutes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Prepare the Sauce

Melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for one minute. 

Whisk in the flour. Continue to whisk for 1 minute.

Gradually add heavy cream and bring to a light bubble. Then reduce the heat to low and allow to simmer, stirring occasionally. Bring to a light bubble. Decrease heat to low.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Slowly sprinkle in Parmesan and Romano cheeses, whisk until well combined. Remove from heat.

Add cooked pasta, chicken, and broccoli. Stir to combine. Pour mixture into a 9 x 13 baking dish.
