Chicken and Ham Cordon Bleu Sliders
These Chicken and Ham Cordon Bleu Sliders are a quick and delicious weeknight meal, combining tender shredded chicken, salty ham, and melty Swiss cheese in soft buttered slider buns.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups shredded chicken (cooked) Use rotisserie chicken or poached chicken for best results.
- 8 slices ham (sliced) Thinly sliced deli ham works well.
- 8 slices Swiss cheese Thin slices for easy melting.
- 8 pieces slider buns Soft dinner rolls or Hawaiian rolls are ideal.
Butter-Mustard Glaze
- 1/2 cup butter (melted) Unsalted butter preferred.
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard Use a quality Dijon for best flavor.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt Adjust based on the saltiness of the ham.
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, garlic powder, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Slice the slider buns in half horizontally and place the bottom halves in a baking dish snugly together.
Assembling and Baking
- Evenly distribute the shredded chicken across the bottom halves, then top with slices of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese per slider.
- Place the top halves of the buns onto the fillings and brush the butter-mustard mixture generously over the top.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown, starting to check around the 12-minute mark.
- Let sit for 2 minutes before slicing between rolls to separate sliders.
Notes
For best texture, serve warm. To avoid soggy sliders, ensure the chicken is not overly wet and snugly arrange the buns.
