How to prepare:
Preparing these delicious Hawaiian Chicken Sliders is quick and easy. Simply follow the steps below:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your sliders bake perfectly and become nice and toasty.
2. Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half. Use a sharp knife to carefully slice the rolls horizontally, creating a top and bottom half. This will allow you to easily assemble the sliders.
3. Prepare the chicken mixture. In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, pineapple chunks, teriyaki sauce, and mayonnaise. Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
4. Spread the chicken mixture over the bottom halves of the rolls. Use a spoon or spatula to spread the chicken mixture evenly. Make sure to cover the entire bottom half of each roll.
5. Add a slice of Swiss cheese to each slider. Place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of the chicken mixture. The cheese will melt beautifully and add a creamy, gooey element to the sliders.
6. Cover with the top halves of the rolls. Place the top halves of the rolls over the chicken and cheese to create a “lid” for each slider.
7. Brush with butter and sesame seed mixture. In a small bowl, mix together melted butter and sesame seeds. Use a pastry brush to evenly brush the butter mixture over the tops of the slider rolls. This will add a delicious buttery flavor and a beautiful golden color.
8. Bake in the preheated oven. Place the sliders in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops of the rolls are golden brown. Keep an eye on them, as oven temperatures may vary.
9. Let cool and serve. Once the sliders are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. This will allow the cheese to set slightly and make the sliders easier to handle. Serve them warm and enjoy!
