Preparation
Step 1
The point I’m trying to make is this: These sliders are the perfect football-friendly, rib-sticking snack for this Sunday. And because you’ll be making a bunch of them, you can have some fun and switch up the cheese you use, the sauce you drizzle on, or the toppings you throw on at the end. You can make sixteen sliders exactly the same, or you can make all sixteen sliders totally different.
Slice bacon pieces in half and fry over medium-low heat until
Place the palm of your hand flat on the top of each chicken breast. Apply light pressure as you slice it horizontally in half (be careful!) When you're finished, you'll have eight thinner chicken breast pieces. Slice each of these in half so you'll wind up with sixteen small chicken "patties." Place a piece of plastic wrap on top of the thicker pieces and pound gently with a rolling pin to flatten slightly.
Heat a grill pan if you have one, or a heavy skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Cook chicken pieces on the first side for a couple of minutes, then flip them over to the other side. Lay slices of cheese (whatever kind you'd like) on top of each piece, then top with a couple of bacon slices. Cook until chicken is done, then remove from the pan.
Spread both sides of dinner rolls with the spread of your choice (mayo, mustard, etc.) and the toppings of your choice (tomato, lettuce, etc.) Place chicken pieces in between halved dinner rolls. Serve immediately!
Variations:
* Brush a little Louisiana hot sauce on the chicken. Add bacon, then top with a bunch of celery leaves before putting inside the buns.
