Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 lb thick-cut turkey bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled
  • 12 slider buns
  • 4 oz brie cheese (optional)
  • Arugula or baby spinach (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cut chicken breasts into slider-sized pieces. In a bowl, whisk olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add chicken to the marinade; toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (or overnight).
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook marinated chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown (165°F internal temperature). Set aside.
  4. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and optional red pepper flakes. Simmer for about 5-7 minutes until thickened.
  5. Cook turkey bacon until crispy; crumble or cut into pieces.
  6. Assemble sliders: Toast buns if desired. Spread glaze on bottom buns, add chicken pieces followed by more glaze, crumbled bacon, and optional brie cheese and arugula before topping with the top bun.
  7. Serve immediately.
