Preheat your oven to 350˚F. This is an essential step, as a hot oven helps achieve that perfect melt on the cheese while warming the sliders.
To prepare the glaze, whisk together the melted butter, dijon mustard, and honey until everything is beautifully combined. This glaze is what brings all the flavors together, adding a delightful richness to your sliders.
Next, place the chicken tenders on a cutting board and chop them into bite-sized pieces. This makes it easier to layer them into the sliders and ensures an even distribution in every bite.
Take your Hawaiian rolls and cut them in half. Lay the bottom halves in a baking dish. This will be your base for the sliders and helps catch all the melted cheese and chicken juices.
Now, layer the colby jack cheese on top of the rolls. You want to cover them generously, allowing the cheese to melt deliciously over the chicken.
Top the cheese with the chopped chicken tenders. Make sure to distribute them evenly so that every slider is packed with flavor.
Place the top halves of the rolls on and brush them generously with the honey mustard glaze. This step is key to getting that irresistible golden crust.
Slide the baking dish into the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until everything is heated through and the cheese is bubbling. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking.
Once done, use a spatula to lift the tops off the sliders. Now, add the freshly shredded lettuce and roma tomato slices to each slider. This adds freshness and crunch, rounding out the flavors beautifully.
Finally, place the tops back on and serve immediately. These sliders are best enjoyed hot and fresh, giving you that amazing mix of gooey cheese and savory chicken.
