Ingredients You’ll Need for Honey Mustard Chicken BLT Sliders

  • 2 lbs. chicken tenders (boneless chicken breasts and thighs work too)
  • 1 pack Hawaiian slider buns or dinner rolls
  • Mayonnaise, to taste
  • Sweet Baby Ray’s Golden Mustard (honey mustard works as a substitute)
  • 8 strips turkey 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)

How to Make Honey Mustard Chicken BLT Sliders

  1. Place the chicken tenders into a large zip-top bag or bowl. Add several tablespoons of blackened seasoning and about 3-4 tablespoons of oil. Mix well to coat them evenly, ensuring they’re seasoned on all sides.

  2. Cook the chicken tenders either in an oiled skillet over medium-high heat or grill the chicken for about 3 minutes on each side, flipping just once to keep all the juicy flavor locked in.

  3. While the chicken cooks, combine all butter topping ingredients (softened butter, parsley, minced garlic) in a small bowl. Heat for about 30 seconds until the butter melts, then stir it all together.

  4. If needed, slice the Hawaiian rolls horizontally using a serrated knife. Place them cut-side up onto a baking sheet and toast under the broiler until they turn golden brown—just a few minutes.

  5. Flip the top buns so their domed tops are facing up, leaving them beside the bottom buns on the pan. Start assembling your sliders! First, add a squeeze of mayonnaise to all of the bottom buns.

  6. Scatter the cooked chicken evenly over the bottom buns, ensuring each slider has at least one chicken tender.

  7. Drizzle a dollop of golden honey mustard over the chicken and place cheese slices atop them, creating a gooey layer of deliciousness.

  8. Spread the butter mixture over the top buns before placing them back under the broiler for another minute or two until the cheese softens and the top buns are slightly toasted.

  9. Finish your sliders by topping them with turkey bacon, tomatoes, red onion, lettuce, and another drizzle of honey mustard. Place the top buns over the sandwiches, slice to separate them, and serve warm!

Fun Ways to Customize It

  • Spicy Kick: Add jalapeños or your favorite hot sauce for a zesty twist!
  • Sweet and Savory: Mix in a layer of caramelized onions or slice up some grilled peaches for a summery sweetness.
  • Veggie Delight: Swap the chicken for grilled veggies like zucchini and bell peppers for a lighter, vegetarian option.
  • Cheesy Goodness: Try different cheese options (like pepper jack or mozzarella) for a richer, creamier experience!

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

  • Make-Ahead: Marinate the chicken overnight for even more flavorful tenders. They’ll be even more tender and juicy!
  • Storage: Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, perfect for lunch the next day.
  • Bun Alternatives: If Hawaiian rolls are hard to find, regular slider buns or even pita pockets work just as well!
  • Slicing Tips: For easier serving, use a sharp serrated knife to slice through the sandwiches cleanly without squashing them.
