Ingredients - Here's What You'll Need

1. Prepare frozen chicken tenders according to package directions. (I heated my oven to 400°F, lined a quarter sheet pan with non-stick aluminum foil, and placed the frozen tenders in a single layer on the pan. Then, I baked them for 26 minutes, flipping them over halfway through baking.) Once the chicken is done, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.

2. While the chicken is baking, make the sauce by whisking mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and honey together in a small bowl.

3. To make the sliders, cut the rolls in half horizontally, keeping them connected as one sheet, and place the bottoms on a foil-lined quarter sheet pan. Then, spoon some of the sauce over the bottom half of the rolls, spreading it so it covers the entire surface.

4. Place five slices of Swiss cheese on top of the sauce, breaking one of the pieces in half so the buns are covered in a single layer.

5. Next, place four or five slices of deli ham, folded in half, on top of the cheese slices.

6. Then, place the cooked chicken tenders in a single layer on top of the ham slices.

7. Next, place four or five slices of deli ham, folded in half, on top of the chicken.

8. Then, place five slices of Swiss cheese on top of the ham, breaking one of the pieces in half so that it's in a single layer.

8. Spoon some sauce on the inside of the top buns and place them on top of the cheese.

9. Melt unsalted butter in a small microwaveable bowl. Then, stir in garlic powder and dried parsley. Brush the mixture over the tops of the Chicken Cordon Bleu Sliders. Bake in a 350°F oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.

10. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about five minutes before cutting into individual sliders. Serve with additional sauce on the side.

Recipe Tips and Tricks

• Master the "Slab" Method: Instead of pulling the rolls apart individually, slice the entire pack of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally as one large slab. This allows you to layer the chicken, ham, and cheese all at once, saving time and ensuring even coverage.

• Rest Before Slicing: Once you take the sliders out of the oven, let them sit for 3 to 5 minutes. This allows the melted cheese to set slightly, which keeps the layers from sliding apart when you go to cut them into individual servings.

• Use a Serrated Knife: When it's time to serve, use a long serrated bread knife. Use a gentle sawing motion rather than pressing down firmly; this ensures you get clean cuts without squishing the soft rolls or squeezing out the cheese.

• Watch the Browning: Because Hawaiian rolls have a high sugar content, they can brown quickly. If the tops are getting too dark before the cheese is fully melted, loosely tent a piece of aluminum foil over the dish for the remainder of the bake time.
