These Jalapeño Pepper Jack Chicken Sliders with guacamole are one of my favorite game day recipes. They're always a huge crowd pleaser!
These Chicken Sliders are not only adorable but delicious! Great for feeding a bunch of hungry guests at your Super Bowl party, just like my Potato Skins. I guarantee they will be gobbled up fast!
Honestly though, these are easy enough for even a weeknight dinner, paired with a salad or even better with my favorite side of Crispy Parmesan Onion Rings.
Tips for making chicken sliders!
- Use an ice cream scoop to measure the perfect size patty. Chicken doesn't shrink like ground beef does, so whatever size you form, is pretty much what they'll be.
- Top the sliders with whatever cheese you like really.
- Smoked paprika is what I always use. I like that smokey flavor it adds. But you can use regular paprika.
- I always grill these sliders, but You could fry them up in a skillet also.
Looking for more party appetizers?
The jalapeno adds the perfect amount of heat, then the cheesy goodness of the jack cheese. Ohh and let's not forget the creamy guacamole to top things off.
