Notes

  • Prepare Rotisserie Chicken - for convenience, I prepare the shredded chicken when I bring it home to use it later or the next day
  • Cook your own chicken: If you prefer to cook your own chicken, you can bake, grill, or poach it. Just be sure to shred it while it's still warm so it absorbs the flavors of the pesto better. This recipe is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. shredded chicken next day
  • Extra flavor - If you're using plain chicken, you can marinate it in olive oil, lemon juice, and your favorite herbs before cooking. You can also toss it with BBQ sauce or hot sauce for a kick.
  • Adjust the pesto -There are different kinds of pesto. If you like your pesto garlicky, add some extra garlic cloves. If you like it cheesy, add some grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Extra cheese- Extra cheese is always a good idea with chicken pesto sliders. Mozzarella cheese cheddar, and provolone are all good choices for delicious cheesy pull apart sliders.
  • Let the sliders cool slightly before serving -  This will help prevent them from falling apart..
