Ingredients
For the Buffalo Chicken Sliders:
1 pound Smart Chicken Boneless Skinless Breasts, boiled and shredded
½ cup buffalo sauce
2 tablespoons yogurt ranch dressing
12 Hawaiian rolls, sliced in half
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese, sprinkled on the bottom half of the buns
1 tablespoon olive oil , brushed over the buns
For the Blue Cheese Coleslaw:
8 ounces cabbage mixture
½ cup carrots, julienned
¼ cup blue cheese crumbles
2 tablespoons parsley, fresh, chopped
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper
Slaw Dressing:
¼ cup Greek yogurt
¼ cup mayonnaise, or light sour cream
1.5 tablespoons cane sugar
1.5 tablespoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a baking tray with non-stick cooking spray. Carefully slice the entire pack of dinner rolls in half making sure not to separate them. Add the bottom half to the baking tray. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on the bottom half. This will prevent the bread from getting too soggy from the saucy meat.
Boil a pot of water and cook the chicken breasts. Remove the chicken from the water, pat dry and shred the meat. Add the meat to a mixing bowl and combine it with buffalo sauce and yogurt ranch. Mix well.
Add the sauced chicken on top of the cheese layer. Add the top half of the rolls and brush the top with melted butter or olive oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
While the sliders are baking, make the gorgonzola slaw.
Combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, cane sugar, white vinegar and Dijon mustard in a mixing bowl. Whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, add the cabbage mixture, julienned carrots, blue cheese crumbles, freshly chopped parsley, salt and black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the top and mix until well coated.
Serve the coleslaw on the side or lift the top of the buns and add some to each slider.
Enjoy!
