Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

8 mini slider buns

4 oz sharp cheddar cheese, sliced

1 cup fresh arugula or baby spinach

Pickles for garnish (optional)

Olive oil for cooking

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, mix together the honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

    Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place in the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice glaze. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.

      Prepare the Slider Buns: While the chicken is resting, slice the mini slider buns in half. Lightly toast the buns in the same skillet or under a broiler until golden brown.

        Assemble the Sliders: On the bottom half of each slider bun, place a slice of cheddar cheese. Top with strips of the honey mustard chicken, a handful of fresh arugula, and add pickles if desired. Finish with the top half of the bun.

          Serve: Arrange the sliders on a platter and serve warm with extra honey mustard sauce on the side for dipping.
