Ingredients

For the butter sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon poppy seeds

For the sliders

  • 12 Hawaiian slider rolls such as King's Hawaiian
  • 4 cups shredded chicken from about 1 rotisserie chicken
  • 6 slices provolone cheese or Swiss

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray or grease it with butter.
  • Mix the melted butter, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and poppy seeds in a small bowl.
  • Keeping the rolls connected, slice them in half horizontally. Place the bottom half in the prepared baking dish.
  • Spread the shredded chicken evenly over the rolls, then layer the cheese slices on top.
  • Add the top half of the rolls, then brush the butter mixture over the tops.
  • Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 5 more minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden.
  • Cut into individual sliders and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Chicken: One rotisserie chicken gives you about 4 cups of shredded chicken. Homemade shredded chicken breasts also work.
  • Rolls: Any variety of King's Hawaiian rolls works. Soft dinner rolls are a fine substitute.
  • Foil: Don't skip covering the dish for the first 15 minutes. It melts the cheese and softens the rolls without burning the tops.
  • Cold chicken: If your chicken comes straight from the fridge, check that the center sliders are heated all the way through and that the cheese has melted.
  • Make-ahead: Assemble up to 2 to 3 hours ahead and refrigerate. Take the dish out 30 minutes before baking and add 5 minutes to the covered bake time.
  • Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in a 300°F oven or the microwave until warmed through.
