Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs

Sauce

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

Sliders

  • 8 slider buns
  • Butter for toasting buns (optional)
  • Lettuce or pickles for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Honey Mustard Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise (if using), apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or cooking spray. Season the chicken breasts or thighs with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
  3. Shred or Slice the Chicken: Using two forks, shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces or slice into thin strips depending on your preference.
  4. Mix Chicken with Sauce: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the prepared honey mustard sauce, stirring until the chicken is well coated.
  5. Toast the Buns: If desired, butter the slider buns lightly and toast them in a skillet or oven until golden and slightly crispy.
  6. Assemble the Sliders: Place a generous amount of the honey mustard chicken mixture on the bottom half of each slider bun. Add optional toppings like lettuce or pickles. Top with the other half of the bun to complete the slider.
  7. Serve: Serve the sliders warm immediately, or keep them warm in a low oven until ready to eat.

Notes

  • You can use pre-cooked or rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • Add sliced pickles or lettuce for extra crunch and freshness.
  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the honey mustard sauce.
  • Store any leftover sliders in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days.
  • To reheat, warm the chicken filling gently on the stovetop or microwave before assembling.
