Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 2 lbs 900 g chicken tenders (or boneless breasts/thighs, sliced into strips)
- 4 –5 tbsp 60–75 ml vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp ground cayenne pepper
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp dried oregano
For the Butter Topping:
- ¼ cup 55 g unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
For Assembly:
- 8 Hawaiian slider buns or soft dinner rolls
- Mayonnaise as desired
- Golden mustard or honey mustard, as desired
- 8 strips crispy cooked bacon
- Colby Jack cheese slices 1 per sandwich
- ½ head lettuce iceberg or romaine
- ½ small red onion thinly sliced
- 2 Roma tomatoes thinly sliced
Instructions
Season the Chicken
- In a large zip-top bag or bowl, I combine 2 lbs chicken tenders with 4–5 tbsp oil, 2 tbsp smoked paprika, 1 tbsp cayenne, 1 tbsp onion powder, 2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp thyme, and ½ tsp oregano, mixing to coat evenly for this honey mustard BLT.
Cook the Chicken
- I heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. I cook the chicken tenders for 3 minutes per side, flipping once, until golden and 165°F (74°C) internally. I let them rest for 5 minutes for this savory sandwich.
Prepare Butter Topping
- In a small bowl, I mix ¼ cup softened butter, 1 tbsp chopped parsley, and 2 minced garlic cloves until combined for this easy recipe.
Toast the Buns
- I slice 8 Hawaiian buns horizontally and place them cut-side up on a baking sheet. I broil for 1–2 minutes until golden, then flip the top buns dome-side up for this honey mustard BLT.
Assemble the Sandwiches
- I spread mayonnaise on the bottom buns, add a chicken tender, a dollop of honey mustard, and a slice of Colby Jack cheese. I broil for 1–2 minutes until the cheese softens. I top with bacon, lettuce, tomato slices, red onion, and another drizzle of honey mustard for this savory sandwich.
Finish and Serve
- I spread the butter topping on the top buns and broil for 1 minute. I place the top buns on the sandwiches and serve this Chicken BLT Sandwich immediately.
