Method
- Set the bottom buns in a baking dish and layer on the chicken, cheese, and bacon. Drizzle with ranch and add the top buns.
- Brush with melted butter, cover with foil, and bake at 350°F for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake 5-6 minutes more.
- Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
What we changed and why
- Slider buns are wheat. Many gluten-free buns contain cornstarch, so read the label.
- Deli meats often contain corn-derived dextrose or starch.
- Pre-shredded cheese is coated in anti-caking starch (often corn or potato).
- Conventional bacon often uses corn-derived dextrose and nitrites.
- Conventional ranch uses soybean oil and can contain corn-derived additives.
Items marked "check" need a quick label read: corn hides in starches, dextrose, and vinegar.
