Ranch Chicken Sliders

• 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast halves
• 1 envelope ranch salad dressing mix
• 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, cubed
• 2 cups crushed pretzels
• 2 cups crushed potato chips or crushed barbecue potato chips
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon 2% milk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• Oil for frying
• 12 mini buns
• Optional toppings: Lettuce, tomato, bacon, cheddar cheese

1. Place chicken in a 3- or 4-qt. slow cooker. Sprinkle with dressing mix; top with cream cheese. Cook, covered, on low until a thermometer reads 165u0b0, 2-1/2 - 3-1/2 hours (mixture may appear curdled). Meanwhile, place pretzels, chips and Parmesan in a food processor; pulse until combined. Reserve 1 cup for sliders. Transfer remaining to a shallow bowl.
2. Remove chicken from slow cooker; shred with 2 forks. Return chicken to slow cooker; stir to combine. Add reserved 1 cup pretzel mixture; cool completely. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
3. In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs and milk. Combine flour, garlic salt, pepper and paprika in another shallow bowl.
4. Shape chicken mixture into twelve 1/2-in.-thick patties. Dip patties in flour mixture to coat both sides; shake off excess. Dip in egg mixture, then in remaining pretzel mixture, patting to help coating adhere.
5. In an cast-iron or other heavy skillet, heat 1/4 in. of oil to 375u0b0. Fry sliders, a few at a time, until golden brown, 3-4 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Serve in buns with toppings as desired.
