Ingredients

Scale

3–4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
1 cup buffalo sauce
8 slider buns
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup fresh cilantro or green onions (for garnish)
1/2 cup ranch dressing (for drizzling)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Bake the chicken for 25-30 minutes or until fully cooked. Avoid overcooking to prevent dryness.
Allow the chicken to cool slightly, then shred it using two forks.
Mix the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce in a bowl until well-coated.
Assemble each slider by placing a portion of shredded buffalo chicken on the bottom half of each bun. Top with shredded cheese and garnish with cilantro or green onions.
Broil the assembled sliders on high for about 3-5 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Drizzle with ranch dressing before serving warm alongside crunchy veggies or chips.
