Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound chicken breasts cut into slider-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for searing the chicken
  • 1 teaspoon paprika for smoky, mildly spicy flavor
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder adds aromatic depth
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder rounds out savory notes
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 slider buns soft and slightly sweet
  • 1/4 cup honey sweet counterpoint to spice
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted, creates rich glaze
  • 1/2 cup dill pickles chopped for pickle crunch
  • 1/4 cup mayo adds creaminess to pickle topping
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard adds tang to mayo

Equipment

  • Large skillet or frying pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Small bowl
  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. Start by cutting chicken breasts into slider-sized pieces. Pat dry, then season with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken pieces 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Toss the cooked chicken in the honey butter glaze until evenly coated.
  5. In a small bowl, mix chopped dill pickles, mayo, and Dijon mustard to make the pickle crunch topping.
  6. Slice slider buns in half and toast if desired. Assemble sliders with glazed chicken and pickle crunch topping, then serve immediately.

Notes

  • Cut chicken into uniform pieces for even cooking and consistent bites.
  • Toast buns lightly to add texture and prevent sogginess.
  • Make pickle crunch topping ahead and refrigerate to meld flavors.
  • Brush buns with honey butter glaze for extra flavor.
  • Serve sliders with crispy fries or fresh salad for a complete meal.
