    These Jalapeno Chicken Sliders make the perfect appetizer, snack, or meal! Flavorful, simple to make, and always a hit!

    Hawaiian sweet rolls, shredded chicken, melted cheese, and jalapenos combine into these tasty sliders

    Have you seen that funny meme going around the Internet right now? It says “sorry kids, busy game night tonight. We can either eat at 4:30 or 9pm”. Haha, well that fits my house perfectly these days!

    I knew I would be pressed for time come dinner because of my sons football game. I needed something I could have ready to go quickly, that also saved for my older son after his game.

    Looking through my freezer, pantry, and refrigerator, I landed on a bag of pre-shredded chicken I had, some jalapenos, cream cheese, and Hawaiian rolls. What did I make with that? Well, these Jalapeno Chicken Sliders of course!

    Since my kids were eating them with us, I took all the seeds out of the jalapenos to tame the heat. If you like heat, keep some seeds in and spice it up!

    Hawaiian sweet rolls, shredded chicken, cheese, and jalapenos combine into these tasty sliders!

    Not only were these a huge hit (they always are), but they were quick and easy! I was able to prepare these in under 10 minutes, PLUS, make them ahead of time! They even make a great appetizer or food to serve at a tailgating party!

    I served ours with a side salad to keep it simple, but you can add chips, pasta salad, fruit, and more!

    Jalapeno Chicken Sliders include shredded chicken, melted cheese, diced jalapenos, and a melted butter topping

    If you are looking for an appetizer idea, give these a try! Quick meal option? Yep, these are great! Even a snack for game day or having people over!

    If you love sliders, you’ll love these other variations too:

    French Onion Beef Sliders

    Chicken Bacon Ranch Sliders

    Roast Beef and Swiss Sliders

    Budget friendly, kid approved, and busy night approved! Just what the meal plan calls for this week, right?!
