• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

• 1 tablespoon honey or melted butter for brushing (optional, for shine)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken Filling
   In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy. Add the mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until everything is evenly combined and the mixture looks rich and thick.

2. Prepare the Rolls
   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Using a sharp knife, slice the dinner rolls horizontally as one sheet, keeping the tops and bottoms connected if possible. Place the bottom half of the rolls into a greased baking dish.

3. Assemble the Sliders
   Spread the creamy chicken mixture evenly over the bottom layer of the rolls. Make sure the filling reaches all corners so every slider is packed with flavor. Carefully place the top half of the rolls over the filling.

4. Brush and Bake
   Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter. This helps them bake up golden, shiny, and irresistible. Cover the baking dish loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10–15 minutes, or until the tops are beautifully golden and the cheese is melted and bubbling.

5. Rest and Serve
   Remove the sliders from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. This helps the filling set slightly and makes slicing easier. Cut into individual sliders and serve warm.

Serving Suggestions

These sliders are perfect on their own, but they also pair wonderfully with a simple green salad, crispy fries, or roasted vegetables. They’re great for game nights, potlucks, or even as a fun dinner option when you want something comforting yet easy to share.
