Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

8 mini slider buns

4 oz sharp cheddar cheese, sliced

1 cup fresh arugula or baby spinach

Pickles for garnish (optional)

Olive oil for cooking

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, ensuring they are thoroughly coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse the chicken (you can marinate for up to 2 hours for a richer taste).

    Cook the Chicken: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove the marinated chicken breasts from the bowl, allowing excess marinade to drip off, and place the chicken in the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has developed a nice glaze. Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside to rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

      Prepare the Slider Buns: While the chicken is resting, take your mini slider buns and slice them in half horizontally. In the same skillet used for the chicken (or under a broiler if you prefer), lightly toast the cut sides of the buns until they are golden brown and crispy.

        Assemble the Sliders: Start with the bottom half of each toasted slider bun. Place a slice of sharp cheddar cheese directly on top. Add a generous portion of the sliced honey mustard chicken strips, followed by a handful of fresh arugula or baby spinach. If desired, add a slice or two of pickles for an extra crunch and flavor. Top each slider with the upper half of the bun to complete.

          Serve: Arrange the assembled sliders on a large platter. Serve warm, accompanied by extra honey mustard sauce on the side for dipping, allowing guests to enjoy the delightful flavors.

              - Presentation Tips: Garnish the platter with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a few more slices of pickles for a pop of color, and place toothpicks in each slider to hold them together and make for easier serving. Enjoy!
