For Serving:

Instructions

In the slow cooker, combine 1 pound chicken breasts, ½ cup butter, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 clove garlic, and ⅓ cup Sriracha hot chile sauce. Cook on low for 4-6 hours or high 2-4, until the chicken is fall apart tender. Shred using two forks.
While the chicken is cooking, assemble the slaw. Mix 2 cups shredded cabbage and 2 carrots together in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, and Pinch salt. Pour over cabbage mixture and toss to combine. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
To make the ranch sauce, whisk together all ingredients (or blend in a blender or food processor).
To assemble the sliders, place a small amount of slaw on the bottom of a slider bun. Top with chicken, and then drizzle with ranch sauce. Drizzle with additional sriracha, if desired. Top with the other half of the buns.

Notes

Use gluten-free buns to keep these sliders completely grain-free!

To take your sliders to the next level, after assembly, brush the top of the buns with melted butter. Pop in a 400ºF oven for about 5 minutes, until the buns are golden brown and delicious.

You can also add bacon, red onion, or slices of cheddar cheese to these sliders—make them your own!
