Easy Gluten Free Cordon Bleu Chicken Sliders Recipe
Hands down, these chicken cordon bleu sliders are one of the most exciting twists on a classic dish you can make on a weeknight or for game day. They’re rich, melty, and satisfying — but there’s a fun twist: no bread required. Instead of sweet Hawaiian rolls, soft rolls, or bottom and top buns, we use thick slices of uncured Canadian bacon as the “bun,” with shredded chicken, creamy sauce, and melty Swiss cheese nestled inside.

Notes
Can I use chicken tenders or chicken fingers? Yes, but shred or chop them so they mimic shredded chicken in recipe. This is the best way to ensure the Swiss cheese melts into it, so they hold together.
What if I don’t like Swiss cheese? Gruyère, provolone, or mozzarella all melt beautifully — but Swiss gives the classic cordon bleu flavor.
Can I make these spicy? Absolutely — add paprika, cayenne, or even hot honey in the creamy sauce for a little heat.
How do I store leftovers? In an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
Will the sliders fall apart without buns? No — the Canadian bacon holds them together beautifully, even without bottom buns or top buns.
