Instructions
How to Make Maple Chicken Bacon Sliders
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until it's crispy and golden, about 6-8 minutes. Once done, set it aside on paper towels to drain, and reserve the bacon fat for added flavor!
- In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the ground chicken, ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, then form into 12 small patties.
- Using the skillet with the reserved bacon fat, heat it over medium-high. Place the patties in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until fully cooked, brushing with maple syrup during the last minute.
- Assemble the sliders by layering a cooked patty, a slice of bacon, and fresh arugula or spinach. Drizzle with more maple syrup if desired.
- Serve these sliders with a side of sweet potato fries or a fresh salad for a delightful meal.
