Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a baking dish and season with 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and juices run clear.
  2. Step 2: While chicken bakes, combine 1 cup shredded cabbage and 1/2 cup shredded carrots in a bowl. Toss with 1/4 cup ranch dressing until evenly coated and set aside in the fridge.
  3. Step 3: When chicken is done, shred it finely with two forks. Toss the shredded chicken with 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce until fully coated.
  4. Step 4: Brush 8 slider buns with 2 tbsp melted butter and toast them lightly in a skillet or oven for 2-3 minutes until golden.
  5. Step 5: Assemble sliders by layering buffalo chicken on the bottom bun and topping with a generous spoonful of ranch slaw. Cover with the top bun and serve immediately for a spicy, tangy bite perfect for game night.
