Crack Chicken Sliders
Crack chicken is such a popular recipe. I wanted to give it a bit of a spin and create these chicken sliders.
Perfect for serving up for dinner, lunch, or serve as an appetizer for a party you are hosting.
Using Pre-Cooked Shredded Chicken
What I love about this recipe is you have minimal prep if you have pre-shredded chicken on hand. I like to buy frozen chicken that is already cooked and frozen.
It helps me to save time for meal prepping later on. But, you can also pre-cook your chicken and use for meals just like this. A great meal prep item for sure to keep stocked in your freezer.
How To Make Crack Chicken Sliders
Step 1: Add your pre-cooked shredded chicken, cream cheese, ranch powder, and bacon in a skillet on the stove. Heat on medium until it is hot and bubbly.
Step 2: Once it is all melted and bubbly add on your shredded cheese. Stir well and then remove from the heat.
Step 3: Spread your chicken mixture over the bottom part of the rolls, and top with cheese.
Step 4: Brush the rolls with butter and bake as directed in the printable recipe card below.
Once done remove from the oven and serve up a creamy and cheesy chicken sliders for your family or friends.

Storing Leftover Sliders
These sliders are best when served warm and fresh from the oven. But they will store in the fridge for around 3 days. Always use your best judgment in terms of quality.
When in doubt toss it out, is my motto when it comes to eating any food leftover.
To reheat you can either place sliders in the oven covered with aluminum foil, or toss in the microwave for a quick reheat.
Or if you have younger kids you could pack in their lunch and let them eat the sandwich cold for lunch. It doesn’t taste bad straight from the fridge.
