Notes
*I used a whole chilled rotisserie chicken found in the refrigerated prepared meats section of my local Walmart. It’s cheaper than the hot rotisserie chicken and SNAP approved. You can also use 1lb. of our crockpot shredded chicken, leftover baked chicken breasts, or even grilled chicken.
**You can substitute the mayo or cream cheese with sour cream or plain yogurt for a tangier flavor. You can also omit either and make it a drier, less-creamy tasting chicken filling.
***I love cheddar and think it goes well with these easy chicken sliders. You can also use provolone, mozzarella, or your favorite melty cheese.
****Everything bagel seasoning is a mix of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and salt. If you don’t have it, swap in your favorite herb or spice blend, or keep it simple with just sesame seeds or poppy seeds.
The meat from one rotisserie chicken can weigh over one pound, so make sure to utilize any extra in another recipe! I've shared some ideas for using leftover rotisserie chicken under the step-by step photos below.
