Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

8 slider buns

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup coleslaw (optional)

Pickles for garnish (optional)

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Chicken:

    - Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium heat.

      - Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

        - Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

          Shred the Chicken:

            - Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, shred the chicken using two forks.

              Mix with BBQ Sauce:

                - In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the BBQ sauce, mixing thoroughly until the chicken is well coated.

                  Prepare the Buns:

                    - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

                      - Slice the slider buns in half, keeping the tops and bottoms attached. Lay them on a baking sheet.

                        Assemble the Sliders:

                          - Evenly distribute the BBQ chicken mixture over the bottom half of the slider buns.

                            - Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the chicken.

                              - If desired, add a spoonful of coleslaw on top of the cheese for crunch.

                                Bake:

                                  - Place the sliders in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

                                    Serve:

                                      - Remove from the oven, carefully place the top halves of the buns on each slider, and garnish with pickles and parsley if desired.

                                        - Serve warm and enjoy your delicious BBQ Chicken Cheddar Sliders!
