Looking for the perfect, no-fuss appetizer for your next game day or party? These Chicken Sliders are the simple, three-ingredient answer!

The star of this recipe is the incredibly flavorful, tender, and tasty chicken, which gets its sweet and spicy kick from Millers Banana Pepper BBQ sauce. This recipe starts with boneless, skinless chicken breasts and chicken broth, but here’s the best part: while the chicken can cook in the slow cooker, we’ve also included a major time-saver for using rotisserie chicken!

This chicken appetizer recipe is quick to prep and even quicker to assemble and serve. The shredded chicken is mixed with the sauce, topped with thinly sliced cheese inside soft rolls, and finished by melting the cheese in the oven. The short list of ingredients is below—let’s get started!

Prep and Slow Cook Set Up

  1. Unwrap the chicken breasts and place them in the slow cooker.
  2. Top the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, half to a full jar of Miller’s Banana Pepper Habanero Sauce, and the chicken broth. Cook in the slow cooker on high for four hours.

Shredding and Mixing The Chicken
