Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Dressing
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup honey mustard dressing
- Olive oil for cooking
- Salt and pepper to taste
Bacon and Toppings
- 8 slices of bacon
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 8 mini slider buns
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the chicken.
- Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Bake Chicken: Transfer the seared chicken breasts to a baking dish. Brush them generously with honey mustard dressing. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), ensuring they are cooked through.
- Cook Bacon: While the chicken bakes, cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Once cooked, transfer them onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- Rest and Slice Chicken: Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes to retain juices. Then slice the chicken into strips suitable for the slider buns.
- Assemble Sliders: Spread a little honey mustard dressing on both halves of each slider bun. Layer the bottom halves with sliced chicken, followed by crispy bacon, shredded lettuce, and tomato slices.
- Serve: Place the top half of each bun over the layered ingredients. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Honey Mustard BLT Chicken Sliders.
Notes
- Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
- For extra flavor, you can toast the slider buns lightly before assembling.
- Feel free to substitute bacon with turkey bacon for a leaner option.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat chicken separately to maintain texture.
