How to make chicken pesto sliders

Begin by preheating the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Next cook and shred the chicken. You can also use rotisserie chicken can be to save time. Otherwise, I recommend boiling the chicken breasts for this step.

Cut the hawaiian bread in half, making a top and bottom section. Place the bottom half into a casserole dish. Evenly spread pesto on top and bottom pieces of bread.

Then add  the shredded chicken on top of the bottom half of bread. Top with mozzarella slices and cover with the top half of bread.

After that take a small bowl, melt the butter. Stir in minced garlic, dried basil, and garlic salt.  Brush the bread top with the butter. Place onto the center rack of the oven.

Bake at 375 degree Fahrenheit for 15 minutes.
