Delicious Chicken Pesto Sliders Recipe

These sliders are packed with flavor, featuring marinated chicken breast, fresh pesto, and gooey mozzarella cheese, all served on warm slider buns. The combination of the fresh basil in the pesto and the creamy mozzarella creates a mouthwatering taste that will leave you wanting more.

Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup pesto sauce
8 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
12 slider buns
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts with pesto sauce, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Cook the Chicken: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear.
Melt the Cheese: In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of mozzarella on each piece of chicken to allow it to melt.
Assemble the Sliders: Slice the slider buns in half and place a piece of chicken with melted mozzarella on each bottom half. Top with fresh basil leaves and cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve: Enjoy the sliders warm with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad.
