Use different cheeses like cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack to change up the flavor.
Substitute grilled chicken with crispy fried chicken for a crunchier version.

FAQs

Can I prepare the chicken ahead of time?

Category: Appetizer
Method: Stovetop
Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs

Slider Assembly

10 slider buns
5 slices of cheese (such as cheddar or American, halved for sliders)

Honey Mustard Sauce

1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional for creaminess)
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Cook the Chicken: Start by heating a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts or thighs with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken in the skillet for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
Prepare the Honey Mustard Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise (if using), apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
Coat the Chicken: Slice or shred the cooked chicken into slider-sized pieces and toss them in the honey mustard sauce until fully coated.
Assemble the Sliders: Slice each slider bun in half. Place a portion of the honey mustard chicken on the bottom half, then top with a half slice of cheese. Optionally, you can place the assembled sliders under a broiler or in a hot oven for a minute or two to melt the cheese slightly.
Serve: Place the top half of the bun and serve the sliders warm as an appetizer or main dish.

Notes

You can use chicken thighs for juicier sliders or chicken breasts for a leaner option.
Adding mayonnaise to the honey mustard sauce gives it a creamier texture but can be omitted if preferred.
For extra flavor, add pickles, lettuce, or tomato slices to the sliders.
To melt the cheese, quickly broil the assembled sliders for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
These sliders are perfect for parties, game days, or quick weeknight dinners.
