PULL-APART PESTO CHICKEN SLIDERS

Pull-Apart Pesto Chicken Sliders these baked sandwiches are loaded with juicy chicken and two kinds of pesto. This crowd-pleasing recipe is bursting with flavor. They’re great for any party, game day, or snack.

Pull-Apart Pesto Chicken Sliders is a great recipe for leftover chicken. You can make the chicken early in the slow cooker or instant pot. As well, you can basically use leftover chicken that’s been grilled, broiled, or baked. Additionally, you can use rotisserie chicken. Typically, I use traditional flavored rotisserie chicken.

You can buy basil pesto and sun-dried tomato pesto or make it fresh.  Additionally, you can use this basil pesto recipe if you don’t have one.

Even my teenagers love these sliders. Keeping with the easy theme, I serve them with a wedge salad or edamame salad at home. As mentioned before, this is a great recipe for parties. I like to serve them with a creamy dip like Sausage Rotel Dip or Caramelized Onion Dip, and Bacon Wrapped Sausage Bites.

How to make Pull-Apart Pesto Chicken Sliders

1. First, slice the Hawaiian rolls in half and place the bottom half on the baking sheet.  Keep them together as a slab, do not break into individual rolls.
2. Shred the chicken. Spread the chicken evenly over the bottom half of the rolls.
3. Spread the basil pesto and the sun-dried tomato pesto over the chicken.
4. Next, top with cheese. I used sliced provolone but you can use shredded. As well, you can use your favorite cheese. Mozzarella, Gouda, cheddar, Colby, really any cheese would be good.
5. Place the top half of the rolls on top.
6. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted.  As well, you can cover with foil if the top of the rolls are browning too quickly.
7. Finally, cut rolls apart and serve warm
