GREEK CHICKEN SLIDERS

Read...

Greek Chicken Sliders made with tender chicken, feta, gooey cheese and topped with cool and creamy Tzatziki sauce. Flavor packed and perfect for parties and holidays.


These Greek Chicken Sliders come together easily and are full of fresh Mediterranean-inspired flavors.

You can go the full homemade route here or to keep things super simple, rotisserie chicken and your favorite store-bought Greek dressing (my latest favorite is Panera's which you can find at Target) work great as well.


HOW TO MAKE GREEK CHICKEN SLIDERS?
Start off by combining shredded chicken with Greek dressing (I used Panera's).

Assemble the sliders by arranging the bottom halves on a lined baking sheet or lightly greased casserole dish.

Layer with shredded chicken, crumbled feta and a layer of mozzarella slices.

Finish with top halves and brush with melted butter mixture along with some crumbled feta. Cover with foil and bake until cheese is nice and melty.
