Hot Chicken Salad Sliders
Cheesy hot chicken salad is baked in sweet Hawaiian rolls brushed with a delicious butter, Dijon, honey and garlic glaze! These are the perfect sliders for game nights, tailgating, holiday gatherings, or a quick meal!
Ingredients
- 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls
Hot Chicken Salad
- 4 cups cooked chicken (cubed or shredded - eg. rotisserie chicken)
- 3 cups chopped celery
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 3 tbsp chopped onion
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
- 2 8-ounce cans diced water chestnuts (drained)
- 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Glaze
- 4 tbsp butter (melted (I use salted))
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/8 tsp garlic powder
- 1 T dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine chicken with celery, almonds, chopped onion, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, mayonnaise, water chestnuts, and cheddar cheese. Stir to combine the chicken mixture well.
- Use a large serrated knife to carefully slice open the 12-pack of Hawaiian sweet rolls. Place the bottoms in a baking dish or casserole dish. I found an 11-inch by -inch dish to work well. Fill each roll with a heaping scoop of the chicken salad.
- Add the tops of the slider rolls back on top.
- Whisk together the glaze in a small mixing bowl. Brush the glaze over the tops of the rolls. Pour on any extra glaze. Sprinkle the tops with any leftover cheddar cheese (optional).
- Bake, covered with aluminum foil, for 12 minutes. Remove the foil from the baking dish, return the sliders to the oven and bake, uncovered, for an additional 10 minutes.
