OVERVIEW
Sliders are a delicious and convenient appetizer or snack. Combine a few sliders with some veggies and you have a satisfying meal. This recipe calls for chicken sliders but these could easily be grass-fed beef, lamb or grilled eggplant sliders. There are plenty of possibilities here – you can even mix and match. If you are hosting a happy hour or need a football game appetizer this is a simple and tasty way to go.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 package chicken thighs or chicken breast (I prefer boneless, skinless)
- 1 large onion
- Sharp cheddar cheese or your favorite cheese
- Oil of your choice or butter (I prefer coconut or olive oil)
- 1 tomato (optional)
- Pickle (optional)
- Avocado (optional)
- Sweet basil (optional)
- Lettuce (optional)
- Mayonnaise
- Pinch of salt and pepper and garlic powder
- Slider buns or rolls
- One jar Organic Citrus Infused Sauce or Organic Original Dipping Sauce or Organic Spicy Peanut Sauce – Hot or Medium
Instructions:
The Chicken
- Remove fat and skin from chicken thighs. If using chicken breast slice chicken into thinner slabs
- Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder
- Place on grill, griddle or in pan if frying
- Cook side one and flip
- Carefully spoon on desired sauce (Citrus Infused, Original Dipping, or Peanut Sauce)
- Continue cooking until chicken is thoroughly cooked
The Onions
- Thinly slice onions (red or sweet are really good choices here)
- Sauté sliced onions in coconut oil, olive oil or butter
The Buns
- Grill, toast or pan fry buns in butter or oil
Final Assembly
- Remove buns and place on serving platter or plates
- If extra sauce is desired, in a medium bowl mix mayo with Organic Citrus Infused Sauce or Organic Original Dipping Sauce and spread on grilled buns
- Add chicken to the bottom of each bun
- Top with a slice of cheese
- Add sautéed onions
- Add other optional ingredients (if your ingredients start stacking up too high you may need to spear the slider with a large toothpick, party skewer, or fruit pick to keep it together – warn your guests if you place a toothpick in the sliders)
Sliders are fun snacks and fulfilling meals when you eat more than one.
Serve with salad, Pan Fried Purple Potatoes, fries, veggies, or chips.
