Maple Chicken Bacon Sliders are small sandwiches with big flavor. You use Hawaiian rolls, cooked chicken strips, bacon, Gouda, and maple butter. They bake fast and serve warm. The combo of sweet maple and savory bacon is very pleasing.

how to make Maple Chicken Bacon Sliders

Make these sliders in a few clear steps. Slice the rolls, spread maple butter, layer chicken, bacon, and cheese, then bake until the cheese melts. Brush the tops with more maple butter when they come out of the oven. Serve while hot.

Ingredients :

1 package (12 count) King’s Hawaiian Rolls
12 cooked chicken breast strips
4 slices Gouda cheese
4 to 6 slices cooked bacon
1/4 cup maple butter

Directions :

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Using a bread knife, slice the Hawaiian rolls horizontally to separate the tops from the bottoms, keeping each set of rolls connected if possible.
Spread a generous, even layer of maple butter across the bottom half of the rolls.
Arrange the cooked chicken strips evenly over the maple butter layer, then place the bacon slices on top of the chicken.
Layer the Gouda cheese slices over the bacon, then cover with the top half of the rolls.
Place the assembled sliders on a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tops are lightly golden.
Carefully remove from the oven and brush the tops with additional maple butter. Cut into individual sliders and serve warm.
