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
- 4–8 slices of cheese (such as cheddar, Swiss, or American)
- Butter, for toasting buns (optional)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Toast Slider Buns: Lightly butter the slider buns and toast them on a skillet or under a broiler until golden brown and warm.
- 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.
- 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.
