For the Sliders

- 2 cups Cooked chicken (Rotisserie, shredded, or crispy strips.)
- 8 slices Thick-cut bacon (Cooked until crispy.)
- 2 cups Gouda cheese (Shredded for layering.)
- 1/2 cup Maple syrup (Real maple syrup gives the best flavor.)
- 1/4 cup Butter (Melted for glaze.)
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (Optional.)
- 1 tsp Black pepper (To taste.)
- 1 tsp Chili flakes (Optional for extra heat.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
- Slice your slider rolls in half as a slab, keeping the tops connected and the bottoms connected.
- Place the bottom slab in the baking dish.
- Add a layer of gouda cheese on the bottom slab.
- Evenly pile the cooked chicken on top of the cheese.
- Add the crispy bacon on top of the chicken, followed by another layer of gouda cheese.
- Place the top slab of rolls over the cheese.
- In a bowl, mix melted butter, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and black pepper to create the glaze.
- Brush the maple butter glaze generously all over the tops and edges of the slider rolls.
- Cover with foil and bake for about 25 minutes.
- Uncover for the last 5-10 minutes to allow the tops to brown.
Notes
For meal prep, you can cook the bacon, shred the chicken, and mix the glaze in advance. Assemble everything but do not brush on the glaze yet; cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Allow to sit on the counter for 15 minutes before baking.
