Ingredients You’ll Need for Marry Me Chicken Slider

For the Chicken

• 1 pound chicken breasts
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp SPG Blend
• 1 pack King’s Hawaiian Slider Rolls
• 4 slices pepper jack cheese
• 4 slices mozzarella cheese
• 1 tbsp garlic herb butter

For the Marry Me Sauce

• 1 cup chicken broth (or chicken stock)
• 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/3 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
• 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 4 cloves minced garlic
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

How to Make Marry Me Chicken Sliders

1. Season and Sear the Chicken

Start by seasoning your chicken breasts generously with SPG blend. Insert your thermometer and heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat.

Sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown. This step builds deep flavor before baking. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Pro Tip: You can also use boneless chicken thighs for extra richness, or rotisserie chicken if you’re short on time.

2. Make the Creamy Marry Me Sauce

In the same skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant — about 30 seconds.

Pour in the chicken broth (or chicken stock) and heavy cream. Stir well, then slowly add freshly grated parmesan cheese. Mix thoroughly until the sauce begins to thicken.

Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Stir everything together and let it simmer gently.

This creamy mixture is what gives marry me chicken sliders their signature flavor.

3. Bake the Chicken in the Sauce

Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Transfer the skillet to a 375°F oven and bake for 20–25 minutes.

Cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safe and juicy results.

Remove from the oven and shred the chicken directly in the skillet so it absorbs even more of that creamy parmesan sauce. You can do this by using 2 forks, or by tossing them in a food processor and letting it shred it for you!

4. Assemble the Marry Me Chicken Sliders

Slice your King’s Hawaiian rolls in half without separating them. Lightly toast the bottom half for structure.

Layer the bottom buns with:

1. Pepper jack cheese
2. Shredded marry me chicken
3. Generous spoonfuls of sauce
4. Mozzarella cheese

Place the top buns on and brush them with garlic herb butter.

5. Bake Until Golden Brown

Place the assembled sliders into the oven and bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.

The mozzarella melts beautifully while the pepper jack adds just the right amount of spice.

Tips for Perfect Marry Me Chicken Sliders

• Always use freshly grated parmesan cheese for smooth melting.
• Let the sauce simmer to thicken before returning the chicken.
• Shred the chicken while it’s hot so it absorbs maximum flavor.
• If reheating, cover with foil to prevent drying out.

For even more richness, substitute part of the chicken broth with chicken stock. Both work well, but stock adds deeper flavor.

Variations to Try

• Swap chicken breasts for chicken thighs for extra juiciness.
• Add extra red pepper flakes for more heat.
• Use rotisserie chicken to make this a 30-minute meal.
• Add fresh basil or spinach to the sauce for added color and freshness.
