Ingredients

Scale

Slider Ingredients

  • 12 slider buns
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cooked and shredded)
  • 6 slices of ham (thinly sliced)
  • 6 slices of Swiss cheese (or cheese of your choice)

Sauce Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Butter Mixture

  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the sliders.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  3. Mix Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until smooth. Set this sauce aside for layering.
  4. Layer Ingredients: Place the bottom halves of the slider buns in the prepared baking dish. Spread half of the mayonnaise mixture evenly over the buns to add flavor and moisture.
  5. Add Chicken: Evenly distribute the shredded cooked chicken over the sauced buns, then add the thinly sliced ham and lay the slices of Swiss cheese on top.
  6. Spread Remaining Sauce: Spread the remaining mayonnaise and mustard mixture over the top of the cheese layers for extra tanginess.
  7. Add Top Buns: Place the top halves of the slider buns over the layered ingredients, completing each slider.
  8. Prepare Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, poppy seeds, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper thoroughly to create a flavorful topping.
  9. Brush Butter Mixture: Generously brush the butter mixture onto the tops of the slider buns to ensure a golden, savory crust after baking.
  10. Bake: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the buns are golden brown and bubbly.
  11. Cool Slightly: Remove the sliders from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes to set before slicing.
  12. Serve: Cut into individual sliders and serve warm for best taste and texture, perfect for sharing.

Notes

  • You can substitute Swiss cheese with Gruyère or mozzarella for a different flavor profile.
  • Cook and shred the chicken breasts ahead of time or use leftover cooked chicken to save prep time.
  • Make sure to cover the sliders with foil during the initial baking to keep them moist.
  • Adjust seasoning in the butter mixture according to your taste preferences.
  • These sliders are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
