Jalapeno Popper Chicken Sliders are a deliciously cheesy and spicy appetizer featuring shredded chicken mixed with creamy jalapeno-infused cream cheese, all sandwiched inside soft Hawaiian sweet rolls topped with sharp cheddar and a buttery seasoned glaze. Perfect for game day, parties, or a savory snack, these sliders combine the classic flavors of jalapeno poppers with the comfort of BBQ-style chicken in a convenient slider form.

Ingredients

Scale

Sliders

  • 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls
  • 3 cups shredded chicken
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Jalapeno Cream Cheese Mixture

  • 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup pickled jalapeno peppers, diced

Butter Topping

  • 2 tablespoons Challenge Butter Lawry’s Seasoned Salt Snack Spread

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350˚F (175˚C) to prepare for baking the sliders.
  2. Mix Cream Cheese and Jalapenos: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and diced pickled jalapenos, stirring well until the jalapenos are evenly incorporated into the cream cheese mixture.
  3. Assemble Sliders: Slice the Hawaiian sweet rolls horizontally and place the bottom halves in a baking dish. Spread the jalapeno cream cheese mixture evenly over the bottom halves. Layer the shredded chicken on top and lightly press it into the cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the chicken, then cover with the top halves of the rolls.
  4. Cut the Sliders: Using a serrated knife, carefully cut between each slider to separate them before baking.
  5. Apply Butter Spread: Melt the Challenge Butter Lawry’s Seasoned Salt Snack Spread, then brush the melted butter generously over the top of the rolls and in between the sliders to infuse flavor and aid browning.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops of the rolls are golden brown.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the jalapeno popper chicken sliders immediately while warm and melty.

Notes

  • You can substitute pickled jalapenos with fresh jalapenos if you prefer a fresher, spicier flavor. Adjust the quantity based on your heat tolerance.
  • For extra flavor, add a spoonful of BBQ sauce to the shredded chicken before layering.
  • Use a serrated knife to cut the sliders for clean edges without squashing the rolls.
  • These sliders are best served fresh but can be reheated in the oven wrapped in foil to maintain softness.
  • If you want a crispier top, broil the sliders for 1-2 minutes after baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
