Hawaiian Sliders

These little sliders are full of flavor that you are really going to enjoy. I love the peppery arugula along with the combination of sweet chili sauce and crushed pineapple.  Not to even mention the Applewood thick cut smoked bacon! YUP! It’s delicious and a perfect party food! No sooner did I have one or two put together when someone was reaching for them!

INGREDIENTS
12 Slider Rolls (Hawaiian butter rolls would be great)
12 strips of bacon cooked through (I used Applewood smoked thick cut bacon)
1 (20 ounce) can of crushed pineapple, drained
1 rounded Tablespoon of sweet chili sauce
12 thin slices of deli ham
12 thin slices oven roasted chicken
12 slices Monterey jack cheese
1/2 cup arugula

DIRECTIONS
Slice each roll in half and set aside. Drain the crushed pinapple and put into a small saucepan and add the sweet chili sauce and mix. Turn this on low to warm through. Turn your broiler on with the oven door slightly open.
On a baking sheet start by folding one piece of ham so it will fit on the slider bun and place on the baking sheet.  Do the same with the roasted chicken, add the chicken on top of the ham and do the same with a piece of cheese making a meat and cheese stack! When you have twelve stacks put the baking sheet under the broiler just for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and the meat is warmed through. Remove from the oven and start to put the sliders together starting with the bottom roll then add the meat and cheese stack, bacon and argula and finally add the sweet chili sauce, pineapple mixture and top with the remaining bun. Do this for each slider and serve immediately.

Enjoy,
