Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Cutting Board
- Mixing Bowl
- Oven
Ingredients
- 12 rolls Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 6 ounces cream cheese softened
- ½ cup pickled jalapeno peppers diced
- 3 cups shredded chicken
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Challenge Butter Lawry's Seasoned Salt Snack Spread
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350˚F. This is the perfect temperature for making sure the cheese melts without burning the rolls.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese and diced jalapenos. Mix until the jalapenos are evenly distributed. This mixture should be smooth and creamy, with the vibrant green of the jalapenos speckled throughout.
- Cut the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms together. Place the bottom halves in a baking dish, ensuring they're snug and fit nicely.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the bottom of the rolls. You want to make sure each roll gets a generous amount of that creamy goodness.
- Layer the shredded chicken on top of the cream cheese, pressing it down slightly so it adheres. This adds a hearty protein kick, making the sliders satisfying.
- Sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese on top of the chicken. The cheese will melt beautifully, creating that ooey-gooey texture we all love.
- Place the tops of the rolls back on. It’s like creating little sandwiches that will hold all that deliciousness inside.
- Using a serrated knife, cut between each sandwich gently. This helps with serving later on and makes it easier for guests to grab their sliders.
- Melt two tablespoons of Challenge Butter Lawry's Seasoned Salt Snack Spread. Brush this melted spread generously over the tops of the rolls, ensuring they’re coated well. This adds flavor and a golden sheen.
- Finally, bake for 20 to 25 minutes. You'll know they’re ready when the cheese is melted, and the tops are golden brown. Serve immediately for the best experience.
