Ingredients

Scale

Sliders

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 8 slider buns
  • 8 slices cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Oil for frying (about 2-3 tablespoons)

Homemade Ranch

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1–2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Make the Homemade Ranch: In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, fresh dill, and lemon juice. Mix well until smooth and set aside to let flavors meld while you prepare the rest of the sliders.
  2. Preheat the Griddle: Turn on your Blackstone griddle to medium heat and allow it to reach the proper cooking temperature for frying the bacon and chicken.
  3. Prepare the Breading Station: Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs combined with milk, and one with breadcrumbs. This will facilitate the breading process for the chicken cutlets.
  4. Prepare the Chicken Cutlets: Slice each chicken breast lengthwise in half, then cut each half in half again to create eight small, thin cutlets. Season both sides of each cutlet with salt and pepper.
  5. Bread the Chicken: Dredge each cutlet first in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the egg and milk mixture, and finally coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs. Set the breaded cutlets aside on a plate.
  6. Cook the Bacon: Place the bacon slices on one half of the griddle and cook until crispy, turning halfway. Once cooked, remove and set aside on paper towels to drain excess grease.
  7. Cook the Chicken Cutlets: Add a thick layer of oil to the other half of the griddle. Place the breaded chicken cutlets on the oiled surface and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until each side is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. During the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, place a slice of cheese on top of each cutlet to melt.
  8. Assemble the Sliders: Start with the bottom half of each slider bun, spread a generous amount of the homemade ranch sauce, add a cheesy chicken cutlet, then a slice of crispy bacon. Top with the bun lid and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption.
  • Adjust seasoning and ranch flavorings to taste; fresh dill adds a nice touch but can be substituted with parsley if unavailable.
  • Use oil with a high smoke point for frying, such as canola or vegetable oil.
  • You can prepare the homemade ranch a few hours ahead for deeper flavor.
  • Serve sliders immediately for best texture and taste; reheat gently if needed.
