Ingredients
Scale
Sliders
- 12 Hawaiian rolls
- 9 chicken tenders (prepared)
- 6 slices Colby Jack cheese
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 2 Roma tomatoes, sliced
Honey Mustard Glaze
- 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons honey
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350˚F to ensure it’s ready for baking the sliders.
- Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, and honey until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating a flavorful glaze for the sliders.
- Prepare Chicken: Place the prepared chicken tenders on a cutting board, then chop them into bite-sized pieces for easy layering on the sliders.
- Assemble Sliders: Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Arrange the bottoms of the rolls in a baking dish. Layer evenly with the Colby Jack cheese slices, then distribute the chopped chicken tenders over the cheese. Place the tops of the rolls on. Brush the tops generously with the honey mustard glaze.
- Bake: Place the assembled sliders in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sliders are heated through, allowing the glaze to set and add a delicious finish.
- Add Fresh Toppings: Remove the sliders from the oven. Carefully lift the tops using a spatula and add the shredded lettuce and sliced Roma tomatoes inside. Replace the tops on the sliders and serve immediately to enjoy them fresh and warm.
Notes
- For best results, use freshly prepared or cooked chicken tenders.
- If you prefer, you can substitute Colby Jack cheese with cheddar or your favorite melting cheese.
- The baking step ensures the glaze sets and cheese melts perfectly; avoid skipping it for optimal flavor.
- Serve immediately after adding lettuce and tomato to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
- These sliders are perfect for parties, game days, or casual family dinners.
