Description

Tender shredded chicken slow cooked with ranch seasoning, buttery au jus flavor, and tangy pepperoncini peppers, layered with melted provolone cheese inside soft slider buns for the ultimate comforting party sandwich.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 6 whole pepperoncini peppers
  • 1/4 cup pepperoncini juice
  • 8 slices provolone cheese
  • 12 soft slider buns
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts into the crockpot. Sprinkle ranch seasoning mix and au jus gravy mix evenly over the chicken.
  2. Add the unsalted butter, whole pepperoncini peppers, and pepperoncini juice into the crockpot.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 4 hours until the chicken becomes tender enough to shred easily.
  4. Shred the chicken directly in the crockpot using two forks and mix it well into the flavorful juices.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a baking dish.
  6. Slice the slider buns in half and place the bottom halves into the baking dish.
  7. Layer provolone cheese slices over the buns, then spoon the shredded chicken mixture evenly on top.
  8. Place the top slider buns over the chicken mixture.
  9. Brush the tops lightly with melted butter mixed with garlic powder.
  10. Bake uncovered for 10 to 12 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tops are lightly golden.
  11. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the sliders before serving warm.

Notes

  • Lightly toast the buns before assembling if you prefer extra texture.
  • Chicken thighs can be substituted for extra juicy sliders.
  • Store leftover chicken mixture in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Add sliced jalapeños for extra heat.
