Slider Ingredients
- 12 Hawaiian rolls
- 2 heaping cups shredded chicken (preferably rotisserie chicken)
- 4 ounces provolone cheese, sliced
Glaze
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted (salted or unsalted)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the sliders.
- Prepare rolls: Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally and arrange the bottom halves in a baking dish, ensuring they fit snugly together.
- Layer chicken and cheese: Evenly distribute the shredded chicken over the bottom halves of the rolls, then carefully layer the sliced provolone cheese over the chicken. Place the top halves of the rolls over the cheese layer.
- Slice the sliders: Using a serrated knife, cut vertically between each roll to ensure you can easily separate the sliders after baking.
- Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, Dijon mustard, poppy seeds, and salt until completely combined.
- Apply glaze: Generously brush the glaze over the tops of the rolls and also in the spaces between the sliders to maximize flavor.
- Bake sliders: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops of the rolls turn a golden brown color.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving these warm, flavorful shredded chicken sliders to your guests.
Notes
- You can substitute rotisserie chicken with leftover cooked chicken or poached chicken breast.
- Use either salted or unsalted butter depending on your taste preference and dietary needs.
- For a stronger cheese flavor, you can swap provolone with mozzarella or Swiss cheese.
- To make these sliders vegetarian, replace the shredded chicken with a plant-based protein and select a vegetarian cheese if desired.
- These sliders are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated covered in the oven to maintain their softness.
