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
- 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.
