Mini Chicken Burger Sliders

They make me smile.

I don’t know what it is about sliders, but I just love them. I think it’s because they’re so cute. I am obsessed with making sliders all the time. It’s my new favorite go to dish for parties, picnics or just anytime. You can put pretty much put anything on a slider. I like to cut chicken breasts into thin slices, marinate, grill them and put them on a slider bun.

This recipe came to me when I was trying to figure out what to do with the same old chicken breasts. Of course, I thought of a slider. Putting the chicken in a food processor grinds it up like a burger. You can add any ingredients you like, but make sure you don’t add too much liquid. They get a little messy when shaping them. A good tip is to keep your hands wet. If it's easier, you can also buy ground chicken or turkey at the store.

5. Grill each patty until no longer pink, approximately 5 minutes per side.

I hope you try making some sliders for your next party. You may become obsessed like me.
