- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 12 slider buns
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Optional Add-Ins & Swaps
- Add shredded mozzarella for an extra cheesy pull

- Swap Parmesan for Asiago or Pecorino for bolder flavor
Instructions
- Preheat the oven
Set to 375°F (190°C). - Cook the chicken
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Cook chicken 6–8 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Remove and shred. - Make the Alfredo sauce
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (1–2 minutes). Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. - Add the cheese
Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. - Combine chicken and sauce
Return the shredded chicken to the pan and stir to coat in the Alfredo sauce. - Assemble the sliders
Slice slider buns in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves on a baking sheet. Spoon chicken Alfredo mixture onto each bun, then top with the top halves. - Bake
Bake sliders uncovered for 10–12 minutes, until the buns are lightly crispy and warmed through. - Garnish and serve
Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.
Tips for Success
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the smoothest sauce
- Toast buns with a little garlic butter for extra flavor
- If sauce thickens too much, stir in a splash of milk or cream before assembling
- To make ahead, prepare chicken mixture up to 2 days in advance and refrigerate
