These Blackened Chicken Alfredo Sliders are loaded with Cajun-seasoned chicken, crispy bacon, Monterey Jack cheese, and creamy homemade Alfredo sauce on buttery garlic slider buns.

Ingredients

  • 1½ lbs chicken tenderloins
  • blackened cajun seasoning (to taste, my recipe is in notes below*)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup half and half
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon blackened cajun seasoning (more if desired)
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 9 slider buns
  • 5 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 4 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 teaspoons parsley flakes
  • 1½ cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (divided)
  • 6 slices bacon (cooked crisp and halved)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken with blackened Cajun seasoning and cook until mostly cooked through, flipping once, about 5-6 minutes.
  2. Move the chicken to one side of the skillet. Add 2 tablespoons butter and 3 cloves minced garlic. Toss the chicken in the garlic butter, then transfer it to a bowl and tent with foil.
  3. In the same skillet over medium-low heat, add 5 tablespoons butter, half and half, heavy cream, 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a low, gentle boil and cook for 5 minutes, whisking frequently.
  4. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and cook until melted and the sauce has thickened. Remove from the heat and set aside; the Alfredo sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
  5. Preheat the oven broiler. Split the slider buns and arrange them cut-side up on a baking sheet.
  6. Combine the melted butter, 4 cloves minced garlic, and parsley flakes. Spread half of the garlic butter over the cut sides of the buns and broil until golden.
  7. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  8. Sprinkle ¾ cup Monterey Jack cheese over the bottom buns. Layer with the blackened chicken, bacon, remaining Monterey Jack cheese, and an even layer of Alfredo sauce.
  9. Add the top buns and brush with the remaining garlic butter. Bake for 20 minutes, tenting with foil as needed to prevent the tops from browning too quickly.
  10. Slice into individual sliders and serve warm with extra Alfredo sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of blackened Cajun seasoning to suit your preferred spice level.
  • Freshly grated Parmesan melts more smoothly into the Alfredo sauce than pre-shredded cheese.
  • Tent the sliders loosely with foil during baking if the buns begin to brown too quickly.
  • Serve with extra warm Alfredo sauce on the side for dipping.
