How to Make Chicken Philly Sliders

Making Chicken Philly Sliders is easy and fun. Follow these simple steps to get the sliders on your table in no time!

Step 1: Sauté the Veggies

Green bell peppers and yellow onions sautéing in a skillet, releasing their natural sweetness, ready for Chicken Philly Sliders.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the green bell peppers and yellow onions, sautéing them until they start to brown, about 5-7 minutes. This will bring out their natural sweetness and add a nice depth of flavor to the sliders.

Step 2: Add the Chicken

Add the shredded rotisserie chicken to the skillet with the sautéed veggies and stir everything together. The chicken is already cooked, so this step is really about getting it nice and mixed with the veggies.

Step 3: Add Gravy Mix and Simmer

Pour in the water and sprinkle the chicken gravy mix over the chicken and veggies. Stir well to coat everything. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until everything is nicely combined, and the chicken is well-coated in gravy.

Step 4: Assemble the Sliders

Slice the brioche dinner rolls in half horizontally, keeping the top and bottom of each roll intact. Place the bottom halves of the rolls on a baking sheet.

Spoon the chicken mixture evenly onto the bottom rolls, then layer Provolone cheese slices on top of the chicken.

Step 5: Add the Top Rolls and Butter

Place the top halves of the rolls on top of the chicken and cheese. Brush the melted butter generously over the top buns, and sprinkle them with the Montreal steak spice for a nice finish.

Step 6: Bake the Sliders

Chicken Philly Sliders baking in the oven, with melted cheese and golden-brown buns, ready to serve.

Cover the sliders with foil and place them in a preheated oven at 375°F. Bake for 17-20 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the buns are golden and slightly crispy. Remove the foil for the last 5 minutes if you want a more golden brown finish.

Step 7: Serve

Once they’re out of the oven, remove the sliders from the baking sheet and pull them apart. Serve them hot with your favorite sides, and enjoy!

Recipe Notes for Perfect Chicken Philly Sliders

  • Rotisserie Chicken: Using rotisserie chicken not only saves time but also adds incredible flavor. If you prefer to cook the chicken yourself, grilled or shredded chicken works just as well.
  • Adjust the Heat: If you want a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce to the chicken mixture or use pepper jack cheese instead of Provolone.
  • Cheese Options: While Provolone is traditional, feel free to experiment with Mozzarella, Cheddar, or even American cheese if you prefer.
  • Make-Ahead: You can prepare these sliders ahead of time by assembling them and storing them in the fridge until you’re ready to bake. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if they’re cold from the fridge.
