Toppings: mayo, coleslaw, mozzarella cheese, pickles

Instructions:

1. Cook the Chicken

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

Sear the chicken until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.

Add chicken broth, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.

Let the chicken cool, then shred it into pieces.

2. Toss in BBQ Sauce

In a bowl, toss the shredded chicken with your favourite BBQ sauce until it’s well-coated.

3. Assemble the Sliders

Preheat your oven to 350ºF.

On a baking sheet, place the bottom halves of the buns. Layer the buns with:

Mayo
Coleslaw
BBQ chicken
Mozzarella cheese
Pickles
A sprinkle of parsley or cilantro.

Top with the other bun halves.

4. Bake to Perfection

Brush the buns with melted butter mixed with chopped parsley or cilantro.

Cover the sliders with foil and bake for 15 minutes.

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the buns are golden brown.

Why Choose Air-Chilled, Antibiotic-Free Chicken?

Nutrafarms’ air-chilled, antibiotic-free chicken ensures you’re serving the highest quality protein to your family and guests. Unlike traditional water-chilled methods, air-chilling preserves the chicken’s natural flavour and texture while maintaining its freshness. This process also reduces water absorption, giving you juicier and more tender chicken every time.

Sourced from trusted local farms, Nutrafarms’ chicken is raised without antibiotics, providing a clean, nutrient-dense option for your recipes. Whether you’re making BBQ sliders or another family favourite, you can taste the difference in every bite.
