These BBQ Chicken Sliders are one of the easiest dinners to make when you need something fast, filling, and guaranteed to be a hit with the whole family.

Soft slider rolls get layered with saucy shredded chicken and melty cheese, then baked until warm and golden. Pair them with simple oven fries or a veggie on the side and dinner is ready in under 30 minutes.

This recipe is especially helpful on busy weeknights because it works with leftover chicken, rotisserie chicken, or even canned chicken if that’s what you have on hand.
