Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Chicken: Slice boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 2–3 inch pieces and set aside.

  3. Cook Chicken: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, add chicken pieces and cook for about 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  4. Make Glaze: Combine maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and red pepper flakes in a saucepan over medium heat, and simmer for 5–7 minutes until thickened.
  5. Crisp Bacon: Cook bacon in a frying pan over medium heat until crispy, then crumble into pieces.
  6. Assemble Sliders: Toast buns, spread glaze on bottom halves, layer with chicken, drizzle more glaze, sprinkle with bacon, top with cheese and greens, and cap with the top bun.
