how to make Honey Mustard Chicken BLT Sliders
Ingredients :
- 2 lbs. chicken tenders (boneless chicken breasts and thighs work too)
- 1 pack Hawaiian slider buns or dinner rolls
- Mayonnaise, to taste
- Sweet Baby Rays Golden Mustard (honey mustard works as a substitute)
- 8 strips bacon, cooked crisp
- Colby jack cheese (enough slices for the sandwiches)
- 1/2 head lettuce
- 1/2 small red onion (sliced thin)
- 2 Roma tomatoes (sliced thin)
- 4-5 tablespoons oil for marinade and cooking chicken
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika or regular
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 stick butter (softened)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
Directions :
- Place tenders into a large zip-top bag or bowl. Add several tablespoons of blackened seasoning and a few tablespoons of oil. Mix to coat them evenly, making sure they are well seasoned on all sides.
- Cook chicken either in an oiled skillet over medium-high heat or grill the chicken for about 3 minutes per side, flipping just once.
- While the chicken cooks, make your butter topping by combining all butter mixture ingredients in a small bowl. Heat for 30 seconds or until the butter melts, then stir to combine.
- If needed, slice the sliders horizontally using a serrated knife. Place them cut side up onto a baking sheet and toast under a broiler until golden brown, just a few minutes.
- Flip the top buns so the domed tops are facing up and place them beside the bottom buns on the pan.
- Assemble the sliders by adding a squeeze of mayo to all of the bottom buns.
- Add the chicken, scattering it evenly so each slider gets at least one chicken tender.
- Add a dollop of the golden honey mustard, then place cheese over the chicken.
- Spread the top buns with the butter mixture. Return the baking sheet to the broiler for another minute or two until the cheese softens and the top buns are slightly toasted.
- Top the sliders with bacon, tomatoes, red onion, lettuce, and another drizzle of honey mustard. Place the top buns over the sandwiches, slice to separate them, and serve.
