Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 slider buns
- 2 slices ham
- 2 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 chicken breast, cooked and sliced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients: slider buns, slices of ham, Swiss cheese, cooked and sliced chicken breast, Dijon mustard, and butter.
- Preheat your skillet or frying pan over medium heat. This will ensure the sliders cook evenly and get a nice golden brown color.
- While the skillet is heating, spread 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard on the inside of each slider bun. This will add a tangy flavor to the sliders.
- Next, assemble the sliders. On the bottom half of each bun, layer a slice of ham, followed by a slice of Swiss cheese, and then the sliced chicken breast. Top with another slice of Swiss cheese for extra melty goodness.
- Place the top half of the bun on each slider to complete the assembly.
- Once the skillet is hot, add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, coating the bottom of the pan.
- Carefully place the assembled sliders into the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese starts to melt.
- Using a spatula, gently flip the sliders over and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
- Once cooked, remove the sliders from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before serving.
- Serve the Cordon Bleu Sliders warm, optionally with a side of pickles or a small salad for a complete meal.
Tips
- Use room temperature butter for even melting and golden-brown crust
- Choose high-quality deli ham and Swiss cheese for maximum flavor
- Pre-cook your chicken breast and let it rest before slicing to retain moisture
- Use a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan for the best sear and even cooking
- Don't rush the cooking process - medium heat ensures crispy exterior and melted cheese
- Let sliders rest for 1-2 minutes after cooking to allow cheese to set and flavors to meld
- For extra crispiness, you can lightly toast the buns before assembling the sliders
- Experiment with different mustards like whole grain or spicy brown for varied flavor profiles
