Garlic Parmesan Chicken Sliders on Hawaiian Rolls

If you love chicken sliders on Hawaiian rolls, you will adore these garlic parmesan chicken sliders!

Tender pan-seared chicken smothered in a homemade garlic parmesan sauce then topped with melty cheese and added to toasted King’s Hawaiian dinner rolls along with crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayo.

Sliders are one of the most requested recipes for game days, gatherings, cookouts, holidays, etc. Chicken sliders are so popular even for the pickiest eaters and it’s even easier that they are handheld and snack-sized. So you can make them a full meal, or just have one or two.

Some of my most popular chicken slider recipes are the Honey Mustard Chicken BLT Sliders, Alabama White Barbecue Blackened Chicken Sliders, and my Popeye’s Chicken Sliders. Continue Reading…

Chicken Alfredo Air Fryer Calzones

Garlicky homemade alfredo sauce oozes out of these crisp, buttery and pillow-soft air fryer calzones.

These chicken alfredo calzones make a fantastic snack, appetizer, game day food or dinner!

I originally created this recipe back in 2020 after trying these on the seasonal menu at Olive Garden. In my original recipe, I deep fried these, which were delicious but not as realistic for most people. Deep frying isn’t the most convenient option and air frying is certainly better for a few reasons.

The only downside to this recipe is the urge to dive in before they cool off in the center. Guaranteed your impatience will result in burning your mouth with the molten alfredo inside – don’t say I didn’t warn you 🙂 Continue Reading…

Food Court Bourbon Chicken Skewers

You can find Bourbon Chicken at you nearest mall food court or asian takeout restaurant. Oddly enough, this dish does not taste like bourbon or have any bourbon in it. The name derives from Bourbon street in New Orleans where this chicken dish was invented.

Cheesy Bacon Wrapped Chicken Bites (Air Fried and Keto)

Yes, are extremely easy to make in an air fryer and yes, you can make these keto-friendly! Bacon Wrapped Chicken Bites are stuffed with cheddar cheese and parmesan, tossed in a spiced-up brown sugar mixture and then air fried until the bacon is crisp. The chicken on the inside stays so juicy and tender from being blanketed by the salty bacon and a center of gooey cheese. My favorite part is that you can dip them in ranch dressing and it’s a cheddar-bacon-ranch symphony of flavors.

Chicken Tinga Quesadilla Taco (Instant Pot + Stovetop)

Have you ever tried Chicken Tinga before? It’s a smoky Mexican tomato sauce made to braise your chicken in until it’s tender and easily shreds with a fork. This easy Instant Pot Chicken Tinga is one of my favorite versatile chickens to make for all my Mexican cuisine, from burritos to nachos and everything in between.

One of my favorite versions are these Chicken Tinga Quesadilla Tacos where the chicken is sandwiched between two cheese-stuffed pan fried tortillas and smothered in my homemade avocado-poblano sauce.

This avocado-poblano sauce is a cross between a salsa verde and guacamole. Equally as tart and tangy as it is creamy and subtly spicy. This is a unique sauce that’s as addictively delicious on tacos as it is for dipping your tortilla chips in. It pairs wonderfully with these halibut fish tacos as well.
