Ingredients
Scale
Proteins and dairy:
- 1 pound cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup provolone cheese, shredded
Vegetables:
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
- 1 cup onions, sliced
Seasonings and bases:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 12 slider rolls
Instructions
- Pour 2 tablespoons of olive oil into your skillet and let it heat over medium heat for about 2 minutes until it shimmers.
- Add your 1 cup of sliced onions and 1 cup of sliced bell peppers to the hot oil, letting them cook for 5-7 minutes at medium heat while stirring occasionally until they soften and turn golden.
- Stir in your 1 pound of shredded cooked chicken along with 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Keep everything moving in the pan over medium heat for about 3 minutes until the chicken warms through and the flavors blend together.
- While your filling cooks, preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Divide your chicken mixture evenly among your 12 slider rolls, placing about 2 tablespoons of filling on each one.
- Top each slider with roughly 1 tablespoon of shredded provolone cheese, distributing the 1 cup total across all the rolls.
- Arrange your loaded sliders on a baking sheet and slide them into your 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes until the cheese melts completely and the rolls turn light golden.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let your sliders rest for 2 minutes before serving them warm to your table.
Notes
- Slice your peppers and onions into thin strips so they cook down evenly and distribute nicely throughout each slider.
- Cook your chicken mixture on medium heat rather than high, which helps the seasonings blend better and prevents the vegetables from browning too quickly.
- Add a thin layer of mayonnaise or a small splash of white vinegar to your chicken mixture for extra flavor that mimics the taste of traditional Philly sandwiches.
- For a dairy-free version, skip the cheese or use a melting dairy-free alternative, and the sliders will still hold together nicely with all the other ingredients binding them.
