Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
Slider Buns
- 8 slider buns
Honey Mustard Sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional for creaminess)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cheese
- 8 slices cheddar or Swiss cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Honey Mustard Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken breasts or thighs until fully cooked through and golden brown on the outside, about 6-7 minutes per side depending on thickness. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Coat Chicken with Sauce: Remove the chicken from heat and slice it into slider-appropriate pieces. Toss or brush the chicken slices with the prepared honey mustard sauce so they are fully coated.
- Assemble the Sliders: Place the coated chicken slices onto the bottom halves of the slider buns. Top each with a slice of cheese.
- Melt the Cheese: Optionally, place the assembled bottom buns with chicken and cheese under a broiler or in a hot oven (around 350°F /175°C) for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Top the sliders with the bun tops and serve warm, perfect for casual gatherings or snacks.
Notes
- Use chicken thighs for juicier sliders or chicken breasts for a leaner option.
- Adjust sweetness or tanginess of honey mustard sauce by varying the honey and mustard ratios.
- Add pickles, lettuce, or tomato slices for extra texture and flavor.
- These sliders can be prepared ahead; just keep chicken and buns separate until serving to avoid sogginess.
- For extra spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the honey mustard dressing.
