Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray your baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste; then, place them neatly in your prepared baking dish.

Mix together the maple syrup, soy sauce, brown sugar, and minced garlic in a bowl.

Pour half of the sauce over the chicken, making sure it’s generously coated.

Bake for 25–30 minutes, checking for that glorious golden-brown caramelization.

Let the chicken rest for a few moments before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.

Assemble the sliders by placing the sliced chicken on each bun, topping it off with crispy bacon, and drizzling with the remaining sauce.
