Ingredients
Scale
Sliders
- 12 Hawaiian rolls
- 9 chicken tenders, cooked and prepared
- 6 slices Colby Jack cheese
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 2 roma tomatoes, sliced
Glaze
- 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350˚F to get ready for baking the assembled sliders.
- Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, and honey until fully combined to create a sweet and tangy glaze.
- Prepare the chicken: Place the cooked chicken tenders on a cutting board and chop them into bite-sized pieces for easy layering on the rolls.
- Assemble the sliders: Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Arrange the bottom halves in a baking dish. Layer the Colby Jack cheese slices over the bottoms, then evenly distribute the chopped chicken tenders on top. Cover with the top halves of the rolls, then brush the honey mustard glaze generously over the tops.
- Bake: Bake the assembled sliders in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Add fresh toppings and serve: Carefully remove the sliders from the oven. Use a spatula to lift the tops, then add shredded lettuce and sliced roma tomatoes before replacing the tops. Serve the sliders immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute the chicken tenders with grilled or baked chicken strips if preferred.
- For a spicier glaze, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the honey mustard mixture.
- These sliders are best served fresh but can be kept covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving if stored.
