Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Slider buns or dinner rolls
Cooked chicken breast (grilled, shredded, or sliced)
Romaine or iceberg lettuce, shredded
Tomato slices
Mayonnaise
Dijon mustard
Honey
Garlic powder (optional)
Salt and black pepper
Butter (for toasting the buns, optional)

Directions

I start by making the honey mustard sauce—mixing together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. I taste and adjust the flavor to get the right balance of sweetness and tang.
If I’m using fresh chicken, I grill or sear seasoned chicken breasts, then slice or shred them. For quick prep, I often use leftover or rotisserie chicken.
I lightly toast the slider buns in a skillet with butter until golden for extra flavor and crunch (optional but highly recommended).
To assemble the sliders, I spread a layer of honey mustard on the bottom bun, add sliced chicken, top with tomato and shredded lettuce, and then another small drizzle of the sauce before placing the top bun.
I serve them warm or at room temperature, either individually or all arranged on a platter.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 8–10 sliders and takes about 25–30 minutes to prepare. It’s perfect for quick dinners, party trays, or weekend lunches.

Variations

I use spicy brown mustard or add a little hot sauce to the honey mustard for extra heat.
For a cheesy twist, I sometimes add a slice of provolone or cheddar to each slider.
I switch the chicken for turkey or grilled tofu if I want to change things up.
For extra crunch, I layer in thin cucumber slices or a bit of coleslaw.

storage/reheating

If I’m making these ahead, I store the chicken, sauce, and buns separately. Once assembled, they’re best eaten fresh so the buns don’t get soggy. The sauce keeps well in the fridge for up to a week, and leftover cooked chicken stays good for up to 3 days. I reheat the chicken gently before assembling for the best texture.

FAQs

Can I make these sliders ahead of time?

Yes, I prep the ingredients in advance and assemble them right before serving to keep everything fresh and crisp.

What’s the best chicken to use?

I usually go with grilled or pan-seared chicken breast, but rotisserie or leftover chicken works great too.

Can I bake them all together as pull-apart sliders?

Definitely. I layer everything on slider rolls in a baking dish, brush the tops with butter, and warm them in the oven at 350°F for 10–12 minutes.

How can I make the sauce spicier?

I add a little sriracha, cayenne, or spicy mustard to the honey mustard sauce for a bit of heat.

What side dishes go well with these?

I serve them with fries, sweet potato wedges, salad, or roasted veggies for a balanced meal.

Conclusion

Honey Mustard Chicken Sliders are a quick, flavorful, and satisfying meal that’s perfect for any occasion. I love the balance of fresh and savory ingredients, all tied together with a smooth and tangy honey mustard sauce. Whether I’m making them for a party or just a fun dinner, these sliders always hit the spot.
