Description

Ingredients

• 12 potato rolls (Hawaiian rolls would work too)
• 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
• 2 cups shredded Monterrey jack cheese, divided
• 5 strips bacon, cooked crispy and chopped
• 2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
• 1 large jalapeno, seeded and diced
• 1 1/2 tablespoons, unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Removed rolls from package. Do not separate the rolls. Instead use a serrated knife to cut them in half horizontally so all the bottoms and top are separated. Place the bottoms of the rolls in a 9-inch by 13-inch baking dish.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and 1 cup jack cheese. Add the bacon, chicken, and jalapeno. Mix until ingredients are evenly combined.
• Spread the chicken mixture over the roll bottoms in an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup jack cheese evenly over the chicken mixture. Place the roll tops over the chicken and cheese.
• Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter and sprinkle evenly with garlic powder.
• Bake for 20 minutes, or until the butter bakes into the rolls and the cheese is melty.
• Carefully remove from the oven. Use a spatula to cut between all the rolls, separating the sliders from each other. Serve warm.
