Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast (shredded or finely chopped)
- For tender bites, season with salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder.
- 12 mini slider rolls or small dinner rolls
- 6 slices of cheddar or mozzarella cheese, halved to fit the sandwiches
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for added flavor)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Prep the Chicken
- If you haven’t already, cook and shred your chicken. A sprinkle of salt, pepper, and garlic powder will make it flavorful and ready to be the star of your sandwich.
2. Prep the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
3. Assemble the Sandwich Bites
- Layer: Slice the mini rolls in half and lay the bottom halves on the baking sheet. Place a generous spoonful of chicken on each roll bottom.
- Add Cheese: Top the chicken with a half slice of cheese. Fold or adjust the cheese slice to fit nicely.
- Finish the Layers: Place the top half of the roll on each sandwich, pressing down lightly to secure.
4. Add Extra Flavor
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and garlic powder. Brush the tops of the rolls with this buttery mixture for a golden, crispy finish.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds over the tops if you’re using them. They add a beautiful texture and look extra inviting.
5. Bake
- Slide the tray into the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melty and the tops are golden brown.
- Pro Tip: If you want the tops extra crispy, switch to broil mode for the last 1-2 minutes of baking. Just watch them carefully!
6. Serve Warm
- Let the sandwiches cool for a minute or two (if you can resist!) and then serve. They’re best enjoyed warm, when the cheese is still gooey.
