INGREDIENTS

5 oz ground chicken breast

1 slice center-cut bacon

1 medium jalapeño

1 tbsp light cream cheese

2 buns whole wheat slider buns

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp onion powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tsp olive oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Finely dice the jalapeño, removing the seeds if you prefer a milder heat level.

• 2

  In a small bowl, combine the diced jalapeño with the light cream cheese until the mixture is smooth.

• 3

  Season the ground chicken breast with garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl.

• 4

  Divide the chicken into two equal portions and form them into patties, creating a small indentation in the center of each.

• 5

  Spoon the jalapeño cream cheese mixture into the indentations and carefully fold the chicken over to seal the filling inside.

• 6

  Cut the bacon slice in half and wrap one piece around each patty, securing the ends with a toothpick if necessary.

• 7

  Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

• 8

  Cook the sliders for 5 to 7 minutes per side until the bacon is golden and the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F.

• 9

  Lightly toast the whole wheat slider buns in the pan drippings for 1 minute before assembling the sliders and serving.
