Ingredients
Scale
1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1/4 cup buffalo sauce
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
12 slider buns
Butter, melted (for brushing buns)
Optional toppings: chopped chives, blue cheese crumbles
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish.
In a bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, and buffalo sauce until smooth.
Stir in the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses into the cream cheese mixture.
Pour the cheese mixture over the chicken breasts in the baking dish, ensuring they are well coated.
Cover the baking dish with foil.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Remove the chicken from the baking dish and shred it using two forks.
Return the shredded chicken to the baking dish and stir it into the sauce.
Slice the slider buns in half horizontally.
Place the bottom halves of the slider buns on a baking sheet.
Spoon the crack chicken mixture evenly onto the bottom buns.
Place the top halves of the slider buns over the chicken.
Brush the tops of the slider buns with melted butter.
Bake for 5-8 minutes, or until the buns are lightly toasted and the filling is heated through.
Serve immediately with optional toppings like chives or blue cheese crumbles.
Notes
You can adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to control the spice level.
For a quicker option, use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken.
