Description
Juicy seasoned chicken patties with melty cheese, crisp lettuce, tangy pickles, and creamy slider sauce in soft mini rolls. These bite-sized sliders offer bold flavor without complicated recipes, perfect for casual gatherings or quick meals.
Ingredients
1 pound ground chicken
1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 large egg
2 tablespoons finely diced yellow onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
12 soft slider rolls
6 slices cheddar cheese, cut in half
1 cup shredded lettuce
2 small tomatoes, thinly sliced
1/3 cup dill pickle chips (optional)
For the Creamy Slider Sauce:
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon honey (optional)
Instructions
Mix the slider sauce. In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, and honey until smooth. Set aside.
Prepare the chicken mixture. In a large bowl, add ground chicken, panko breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and onion powder. Mix gently until combined.
Shape the patties. Divide the chicken mixture into 12 portions. Form each into a patty slightly wider than the rolls.
Heat a large skillet over medium/high heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat.
Cook the patties. Add 1/2 inch of water to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook patties in the steam until underside is set, 5-6 minutes. Flip and brown both sides.
Add cheese. Place a cheese half on each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
Toast the rolls. Split rolls and place cut-side down in the pan until golden and crispy.
Assemble sliders. Top each patty with a toasted roll, shredded lettuce, tomato slices, pickle chips (if using), and spread sauce generously on the rolls before closing.
Notes
For a lighter option, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise in the sauce.
Use zucchini or mushroom-based chicken substitutes for vegetarian versions.
Store leftover patties in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
