Party-Style Chicken Sliders

Whether you need a hearty tailgate bite or an easy dinner for busy Fall nights, these sliders (on pretzel buns!) will become a favorite with your family and friends.

Once the calendar hits September my mind immediately goes two ways when it comes to food – 1) comfort dishes that are a bit heartier than lighter Summer fare and 2) food that pairs well with football watching and tailgating.

 

I’m happy to say that my new Party-Style Chicken Sliders fit into both categories!


They are a great (easy) dish for busy Fall nights, yet they can be wrapped up or kept warm at tailgate parties to feed a crowd.

I’ve found over the years that everyone loves a slider. And what’s not to love? It’s everything you need for a meal in a convenient sandwich. Remember my French Onion BBQ Sliders? Or my Baked Reuben Sliders? Both are great options.


When AE Dairy and I started brainstorming a meal that would fit both the “Fall” vibe yet also be great for football games – while also showcasing their creamy, tangy sour cream we came up with these!


AE Dairy takes their time developing their rich sour cream (18-20 hours of development!). It is made with the freshest cream for local Iowa farms for a creamier and tastier product that most are used to.

These sliders are full of both easy ingredients (store-bought rotisserie chicken), fresh ingredients (chives from my garden) and convenient ingredients (different cheeses, soft pretzel buns).


Very easy to make – a kindergarten student could probably put these together!


I love that you mix all the filling together before piling it on the pretzel buns to bake in the oven. No individual steps, just dump and mix. Super easy!


Did I mention there is an additional crunch of crispy bacon? YUM!

I baked these up while the kids were at school, then we were all headed in different directions – football practice, volleyball games – but I sent a simple text later and said, “chicken sliders in the fridge ready to heat up”!


And well, as expected half the pan was gone when I got home later that night.


I love a new dish that the whole family loves instantly.

If you plan on taking these to the big game – and perhaps are eating outside or out of the back end of your car, here are some simple ways to keep them warm.


My favorite way is investing in a 9x13 crockpot. I use mine all the time and it’s easy to take along in the car to keep food warm. You can also bake them as directed, wrapping the pan tightly in foil, followed by a beach towel and take to the game. They’ll stay warm for a couple hours.

Grab a container of AE Dairy sour cream and make these sliders!  It makes the filling creamy and delicious. The flavor is top notch, and I promise you people will ask “what’s all in these sliders”?


Be sure to tag myself (@sweetsavoryeats) and AE Dairy (@aedairy) and we’ll be sure to share your photos. We love to see them!
