Why You’ll Love It
I adore these Chicken Cordon Bleu Sliders because they’re incredibly easy to make and require minimal preparation. Unlike traditional Chicken Cordon Bleu, which involves pounding chicken breasts and rolling them with ham and cheese, these sliders use deli meats and cheeses, making them a breeze to assemble. The combination of ham, chicken, and Swiss cheese on sweet Hawaiian rolls is irresistible, especially when topped with a tangy honey mustard sauce.
Ingredients
- 12 Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
- 1/2 lb. Deli Black Forest Ham, thinly sliced
- 1/2 lb. Deli Chicken Breast, thinly sliced
- 1/2 lb. Swiss Cheese, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Dijon Mustard
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Lemon Juice
- Salt to taste
- 3 tbsp Melted Butter (optional)
How to Make Chicken Cordon Bleu Sliders
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare Rolls: Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half and place them on a baking sheet.
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
- Assemble Sliders: Spread a teaspoon of the sauce on the bottom half of each roll. Add a slice of ham, a slice of chicken, and a slice of Swiss cheese. Top with the other half of the roll.
- Add Butter (Optional): Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter for a crispy finish.
- Bake: Place the sliders in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the rolls are lightly toasted.
