Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs

Honey Mustard Sauce

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional, for creaminess)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Assembly

  • 8 slider buns
  • 48 slices of cheese (such as cheddar, Swiss, or American)
  • Butter, for toasting buns (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Honey Mustard Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise (if using), and apple cider vinegar until smooth and well combined.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken breasts or thighs until cooked through and no longer pink inside, about 6-7 minutes per side depending on thickness. Alternatively, you may grill the chicken until fully cooked. Once done, let the chicken rest for a few minutes.
  3. Coat Chicken with Sauce: Slice the cooked chicken into slider-sized pieces. Toss the chicken slices with the honey mustard sauce in a bowl until each piece is well coated.
  4. Toast Slider Buns: Lightly butter the slider buns and toast them on a skillet or under a broiler until golden brown and warm.
  5. Assemble the Sliders: Place a piece of sauced chicken on the bottom half of each slider bun. Add a slice of cheese on top of the chicken. You can briefly place assembled sliders under a broiler or in a hot skillet to melt the cheese if desired.
  6. Serve: Top with the other half of the bun and serve the sliders warm. They make a great party appetizer or quick meal option.

Notes

  • You can use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to speed up preparation.
  • Customize with additional toppings such as lettuce, tomato, or pickles.
  • For a spicy kick, add a dash of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the honey mustard sauce.
  • Slider buns can be substituted with small dinner rolls or mini brioche buns for variation.
  • To melt cheese efficiently, cover sliders loosely with foil and place in an oven preheated to 350°F for 3-5 minutes.
