Equipment

1 Food processor

Ingredients

2 oz maytag or gorgonzola cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup buttermilk, plus more if needed
1/4 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp sherry vinegar
2 small garlic cloves, minced
1/4 tsp kosher salt
10 oz coleslaw mix

Sliders

1 lb shredded rotisserie chicken
1/2 cup + 1/8 cup non-fat greek yogurt
1/4 cup cottage cheese (low or full fat)
1/2 cup frank's red hot sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 small garlic clove
2 tbsp salted butter (unsalted is fine as well)
1 tbsp finely chopped chives
18 slider buns

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a medium or large sheet pan with non-stick cooking spray or cover with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, add the chicken, 1/2 cup + 1/8 cup greek yogurt, cottage cheese, hot sauce, cheddar cheese, 1 minced garlic clove and salt. Use a spatula to combine the ingredients together. The consistency should be similar to a thick buffalo chicken dip.
Arrange the slider buns on the baking sheet. Remove the tops. Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the bottom of each slider bun. Place the top bun back on the slider.
Add butter and remaining clove of minced garlic to a microwave safe bowl, microwave for 15-30 seconds until melted. Add the chives to the butter. Use a pastry brush to brush the tops of each slider with the chive and garlic butter. Cover with foil. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the mixture is hot and melty.
While the sliders cook, make the slaw. Add blue cheese, buttermilk, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, vinegar, garlic and salt to the bottom of a food processor. (Mini is fine.) Blend until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Add the coleslaw mix to a medium bowl. Pour the dressing over the mix. Toss until combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
After the sliders have baked, remove the top bun again and cover in blue cheese slaw. Sprinkle with extra blue cheese if desired. Place the top buns back on. Enjoy! These are lovely hot out of the oven but also good at room temperature.
