Ingredients
Chicken and BBQ Sauce
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (ensure it’s halal-friendly)
Garlic-Herb Butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Slider Assembly
- 12 pieces slider buns
- optional sliced cheese for topping
Instructions
Cooking Chicken
- Start by boiling the chicken breasts in a pot of water for about 15-20 minutes, or until fully cooked through.
- Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks.
Preparing BBQ Sauce
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the BBQ sauce until evenly coated.
Making Garlic-Herb Butter
- In another bowl, mix the softened butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, chives, salt, and pepper. Make sure all ingredients are well combined.
Toasting Slider Buns
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
- Spread the garlic-herb butter generously on each slider bun.
- Toast them in the skillet until golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Assembling Sliders
- On the bottom half of each toasted slider bun, place a generous scoop of the BBQ chicken mixture.
- If desired, add a slice of cheese on top.
Final Assembly
- Place the top half of the bun on each slider. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
Serving
- Arrange the sliders on a serving platter and watch them disappear in a flash!
Notes
For a healthier twist, you can use turkey breast instead of chicken. Don’t rush the toasting of your buns; a little extra time can make them perfectly golden and crispy. Be mindful not to overcook the chicken; it should be moist and tender, not dry.
