Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces slider buns (dairy-free)
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 medium tomato
- 8 pieces lettuce leaves
- 0.5 medium cucumber
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch to ensure even cooking.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the mixture generously over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the toppings. Halve and pit the avocado, then mash it in a bowl with the lemon juice. Thinly slice the red onion, tomato, and cucumber.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into smaller pieces suitable for sliders.
Assemble the sliders by spreading mashed avocado on the bottom half of each bun, adding a piece of grilled chicken, and topping with a slice of red onion, tomato, cucumber, and a lettuce leaf.
Place the top half of the bun over the fillings and serve immediately.
