Chicken Philly Sliders

Sliders have come a long way since the 1940s when sailors in the U.S. Navy would eat mini hamburgers. The hamburgers were so greasy, they would ‘slide’ down the sailors’ throats in about 2 bites! When I think of sliders, I immediately think of White Castle. Who hasn’t ordered a few (or a case) of sliders after a night out? White Castle became famous because of these cheap and greasy sliders. In fact, it was the first hamburger chain to sell a billion hamburgers, and they are still going strong!

Now, sliders are not just the greasy mini hamburgers you have come to know or taste, and the ideas for sliders are endless! My Chicken Philly Sliders substitute chicken for ribeye, but keep the classic Philly cheesesteak ingredients of onion and provolone cheese.

Chicken Philly Sliders Recipe

I didn’t stray too far from the authentic Philly Cheesesteak ingredients when I made my Chicken Philly Sliders. I even stuck with the bell pepper and provolone cheese. What makes these sliders stand out is the butter topping! My mouth is watering just writing about it! You can even make your own homemade Hawaiian rolls for this recipe!

How to Make Chicken Philly Sliders

These sliders are pretty easy to make. It’s all about mixing together the chicken with the peppers and onion mixture and layering on the cheese! To make the butter topping, simply combine the melted butter, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Brush the tops of the buns with the butter and bake the sliders for 15 minutes at 375°F. When you see the bubbling cheese and golden brown top, they are ready to be cut or pulled apart and devoured!

    Made this recipe tonight using a rotisserie chicken. It was flipping amazing! Had to tweak due to supplies on hand (used only 1 green pepper, finely chopped and a heaping spoon of chicken “Better Than Bouillon” and used extra old cheddar instead of provolone. Fella said I can make those as often as I want in the future…and I will. Wait till he hears I discovered you have a whole section on sliders recipes! Thanks for a great dish.

    I made these chicken sliders for a lunch with my daughter. I tweaked it a little because of salt and not as many green peppers. OMG, these are amazing. My daughter ate 2 because she liked them so much. Thank you so much for this recipe. They were awesome! I’ll be making these for our next family get together. They’ll be a hit.
