Ingredients
- 12 Hawaiian rolls
- 2 heaping cups shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken recommended)
- 4 ounces provolone cheese, sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted (salted or unsalted)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350˚F.
- Step 2: Cut the Hawaiian rolls horizontally in half and place the bottom halves in a baking dish evenly.
- Step 3: Spread the shredded chicken evenly over the bottom halves of the rolls. Layer the provolone cheese slices on top of the chicken. Then place the top halves of the rolls over the cheese layer. Use a serrated knife to carefully cut between each slider while keeping them in the baking dish.
- Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, Dijon mustard, poppy seeds, and salt until fully combined to make the glaze.
- Step 5: Brush the glaze generously over the tops and in between the sliders. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the tops are golden brown.
Tips & Variations
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of garlic powder or smoked paprika to the glaze before baking.
- Try swapping provolone for Swiss or mozzarella cheese for a different taste.
- If you prefer a spicier slider, mix a little hot sauce into the shredded chicken before assembling.
- Use fresh cooked chicken if rotisserie chicken isn’t available, just be sure to shred it finely.
Storage
Store any leftover sliders covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350˚F oven for 10-15 minutes to keep the bread soft and cheese melted. Avoid microwaving as it can make the rolls soggy.

Ingredients
Sliders
- 12 Hawaiian rolls
- 2 heaping cups shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken recommended)
- 4 ounces provolone cheese, sliced
Glaze
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted (salted or unsalted)
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350˚F to prepare for baking the sliders.
- Prepare rolls: Cut the Hawaiian rolls horizontally in half and lay the bottom halves flat in a baking dish to form the base for the sliders.
- Assemble sliders: Spread the shredded rotisserie chicken evenly over the bottom halves of the rolls. Next, layer the provolone cheese slices evenly on top of the chicken. Place the top halves of the rolls back over the cheese layer. Use a serrated knife to cut all the sliders apart for easier serving after baking.
- Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, dijon mustard, poppy seeds, and salt until completely combined to create a flavorful glaze.
- Apply glaze and bake: Generously spread the glaze over the tops of the slider tops and in between each roll to maximize flavor. Bake the assembled sliders in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds flavor, but you can use any cooked shredded chicken.
- Feel free to use different cheese varieties like mozzarella or cheddar if provolone is unavailable.
- For extra flavor, consider adding sautéed onions or a sprinkle of garlic powder to the chicken.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated covered in the oven.
- These sliders can be made ahead by assembling them and refrigerating before baking; just add a few extra minutes to baking time if baking from cold.
