Ingredients

- Main Components:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 large cucumbers

- Sauce Ingredients:
1/4 cup pesto
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon miso paste
Juice of 1 lemon

- Additional Ingredients:
2 medium tomatoes, sliced
1 teaspoon ranch seasoning
Assorted veggies (e.g., bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms), sliced
Assorted seasonal fruit, for garnish (e.g., grapes, apple slices)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Grill:
Set your charcoal grill for medium-high heat. This should take about 15 minutes, ensuring the charcoal is evenly ashed over for optimum grilling.

2. Prepare the Chicken:
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and ranch seasoning evenly on both sides.
- Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.

3. Grill the Veggies:
- While the chicken is grilling, place the sliced veggies directly on the grill.
- Grill for 3-4 minutes per side until nicely charred and tender. Remove from the grill and set aside.

4. Make the Pesto-Miso Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix together the pesto, mayonnaise, miso paste, and lemon juice until fully combined.

5. Assemble the Sliders:
- Slice the cucumbers into thick rounds, about 1/2 inch each, to form the base for your sliders.
- On each cucumber slice, place a slice of tomato, grilled veggie slices, and sliced chicken.
- Drizzle each stack with a generous dollop of pesto-miso sauce.

6. Garnish and Serve:
- Arrange the sliders on a platter and garnish with assorted seasonal fruit.
- Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
