Honey mustard chicken sliders take 40 minutes to prepare, but if using rotisserie chicken, you can save some active preparation time by shredding the chicken before preparing the sliders. Honey mustard chicken filling is served with Swiss cheese and baked with butter and poppy seeds on Hawaiian rolls.
I slice the entire roll into two pieces, not individual rolls. I lay one of the sliced rolls directly into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan. It's quicker than laying out individual rolls, and the attached roll keeps the chicken flat against the cheese. Brush the top and sides of the roll with melted butter. This makes it easy to serve the rolls.
Covering the dish for 15 minutes allows the rolls and cheese to fully cook before browning. Hawaiian rolls tend to brown quickly without a cover, and I uncover them once the tops brown and cheese melts. Make sure the cheese reaches all the way to the edges of the rolls.
Let the pan stand for a few minutes before serving hot sliders. I eat sliders as a weeknight meal with tomato soup. Suggested side dishes for serving sliders to a group include potato chips and cole slaw.
