Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Start by cooking the chicken breasts in a skillet over medium heat until they are fully cooked and no longer pink. This should take about 6-8 minutes. Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and allow it to rest for a few minutes before shredding it.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables
In the same skillet, add diced bell peppers and onions. Sauté until they are tender, which should take approximately 5-7 minutes.
Step 3: Combine Chicken and Vegetables
Add the shredded chicken back to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Mix thoroughly to combine the flavors.
Step 4: Add Cheese
Sprinkle a generous amount of provolone cheese over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Allow the cheese to melt, which should take about 2 minutes.
Step 5: Prepare the Buns
While the cheese is melting, split the slider buns in half and place the bottom halves in a greased baking dish.
Step 6: Assemble the Sliders
Once the cheese has melted, generously scoop the chicken and cheese mixture onto the bottom halves of the buns. Place the top halves over the filling.
Step 7: Bake the Sliders
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the assembled sliders for about 10-12 minutes or until the buns are golden brown and the sliders are heated through.
Step 8: Serve
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the sliders cool for a minute. Cut them apart and serve warm.
