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, cooke 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
MY BLACKENED SEASONING
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika or regular
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
BUTTER TOPPING
- 1/2 stick butter softened
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
Instructions
- 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, or grill the chicken, about 3 minutes per side flipping just once.
- As chicken cooks make your butter topping by combining all butter mixture ingredients in a small bowl. Heat for 30 seconds or until 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 leave them beside the bottom buns on the pan. Assemble the sliders by first 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. Add baking sheet back into the broiler for another minute or two until cheese softens and the top buns are slightly toasted.
- Top the sliders with bacon, tomatoes, red onion, lettuce, and another drizzle of the honey mustard. Place the top buns over the sandwiches, slice to separate them and serve.
