Savory Chicken and Pepper Jack Biscuit Sliders
These sliders feature juicy chicken breast topped with melted pepper jack cheese, served on warm, buttery biscuits. The recipe takes about 30 minutes to prepare and serves 6 people.
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6 slices pepper jack cheese
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Optional: sliced jalapeños for extra heat
- Optional: ranch dressing for serving
Instructions
- Prep the Chicken: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Cook the Chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the seasoned chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Bake the Biscuits: While the chicken is resting, bake the biscuits according to package instructions until golden brown.
- Assemble the Sliders: Slice the baked biscuits in half. Place a piece of chicken on the bottom half of each biscuit, top with a slice of pepper jack cheese, and if desired, add sliced jalapeños.
- Melt the Cheese: Place the assembled sliders on a baking sheet and return to the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Drizzle the tops of the biscuits with melted butter, then place the tops on the sliders. Serve warm with ranch dressing if desired.
