You’ll find that the combination of savory flavors, crunch from the veggies, and creaminess from the cheese elevates these sliders to a whole new level.

• 1 pound ground chicken or turkey
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 sweet onion, sliced thin
• 1 green pepper, sliced thin
• 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
• 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 16 whole wheat slider buns or 4 regular whole wheat buns, toasted
• 1/2 tablespoon flour
• 1/2 tablespoon butter
• 3/4 cup milk (I used 2%)
• 1/4 teaspoon mustard powder
• 1 1/2 cups shredded provolone cheese
• 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
• salt and pepper to taste

How to Assemble Chicken Cheesesteak Sloppy Joe Sliders

Preparing Chicken Cheesesteak Sloppy Joe Sliders is a straightforward process, perfect even for novice cooks. Once you gather your ingredients, the assembly will be a breeze. Just follow these steps to ensure a delightful outcome.

1. Start by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil to the pan and let it warm up. Once hot, add the ground chicken and cook for about five to six minutes, stirring occasionally. You want the chicken to brown nicely, which adds depth to the flavor.
2. Next, toss in the sweet onions and green pepper. If you’re using sliced mushrooms, add those too! Cook everything together for another five to ten minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the onions become translucent and tender.
3. Stir in the worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and ketchup. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Bring this mixture to a gentle bubble and let it simmer for about two minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld beautifully.
4. While that’s cooking, let’s prepare the cheese sauce. In a separate small saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and let it cook for about a minute to form a roux. This will help thicken your cheese sauce.
5. Gradually whisk in the milk and mustard powder, bringing this mixture up to a bubble. Keep whisking until it thickens, which should take about two minutes.
6. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the provolone cheese and parmesan cheese. Keep stirring until the cheese melts and you have a rich, creamy sauce. This step is what makes your sliders extra delicious!
7. To assemble your sliders, take the toasted slider buns. Place a generous scoop of the chicken and pepper mixture on the bottom half of each bun.
8. Top each with a drizzle of the creamy cheese sauce. Don’t be shy; make sure each slider gets its fair share of that cheesy goodness!
9. Finally, place the top half of the slider bun on each sandwich. You can serve them warm or let them cool slightly before digging in. Either way, they’re bound to be a hit!
