INGREDIENTS

2.5 oz ground chicken breast

1 slice center-cut bacon

1 medium jalapeño

0.5 oz sharp cheddar cheese

1 small whole-wheat slider buns

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp olive oil

1 cup mixed greens

PREPARATION

• 1

  Finely dice the jalapeño, removing seeds if less heat is desired, and shred the sharp cheddar cheese.

• 2

  In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken breast with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly distributed.

• 3

  Divide the chicken mixture into two equal portions and form them into small patties.

• 4

  Create a small indentation in the center of each patty and fill with the diced jalapeños and shredded cheese, then fold the chicken over to seal the filling inside.

• 5

  Wrap one slice of center-cut bacon around the circumference of each chicken patty, securing the ends with a toothpick if necessary.

• 6

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

• 7

  Place the sliders in the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, ensuring the bacon is rendered and crispy and the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F.

• 8

  While the sliders rest, lightly toast the whole-wheat slider buns in the same skillet or a toaster.

• 9

  Assemble the sliders by placing the chicken patties on the toasted buns and topping with fresh mixed greens.
